Creating Views in Entity Infrastructure

we use the framework entity, but we generate the database from the edmx file without generating the edmx file from the database. I used the views with the framework, but only when creating the edmx file from the database. There seems to be no way to create a view in the model and then push it into the database. Maybe I missed something. The views are so useful that I cannot imagine that there is no way to create them in the model, and then "Create a database from the model ..."
