Create migration script without changes to any database objects
It would be great if you could add just a migrations script to your source control without any related change to any object in the database. This would be very use ful when tyou have tabel A with column 1 and 2 and i column 2 you want to replace all 'A' with 'a' or something.

We need this functionality as well. We use Workflow Foundation and store the Workflow definitions in the database. Having the correct definitions is essential.
At the moment you get the following error message: http://imageshack.us/a/img32/8915/datamigration.jpg.

Yes, please. Every release we have back fill scripts that affect non-static data and this is causing an issue for us now that we are trying to completely automate our DB deployments and need EVERYTHING committed as a migration script.
See this thread I started on the topic (before I found this User Voice request):

The workaround for this is to prefix or suffix the code to a schema change. It's not ideal, but should work. Please vote for this issue if it affects you and hopefully we'll be able to implement a better fix.
