Can I initialize a database from a database project?

Question

I have a Visual Studio 2012 Solution containing a SQL Server Database Project. I'm using Entity Framework 6 (Beta 1 currently) in my application.

Is there an initializer that allows me to spin up a database from the Database Project?

Solved it using DacServices, have to bundle the .dacpac with the app but overall it works as expected.

Is it possible to get the schema differences from the database project and the target database?

@Gian I haven't tried it myself (DacPackage.Deploy automatically updates if desired), but it seems that DacServices.GenerateDeployScript does what you want: msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh753305.aspx - if not, look at GenerateCreateScript and GenerateDeployReport
