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.
I am delighted to let you know that this is now released! You can now create migrations scripts even without schema changes.
If you don’t have SQL Source Control installed, you can download it from http://www.red-gate.com/products/sql-development/sql-source-control/.
If you already have SQL Source Control you can get the new version via Check for updates in the Help menu of SQL Source Control inside SSMS.
You can see other Migrations examples and tutorials here: https://documentation.red-gate.com/display/SOC5/Migration+script+examples
Thank you for sticking with us while we worked on this, and please keep the feedback coming!

Hi Guys, very good product but does not make any sense if it is not creating any migration script for for Data Change. Please fix it asap or lose customer.

I am also trying to implement the automated deployment. But I am not able to integrate the custom script to source control. I think this is very important for automation. Any one from please let us know what is the ETA for this? .

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.
