I've seen this similar topic before, but without a resolution. A somewhat useful workaround, but not practical.

The problem is a validation error that ONLY happens using "migrate" on MSSQL. The same file can be used to create a schema in postgres. Why does it have a problem with MSSQL? The change log was generated from MSSQL, but can't be used to migrate the schema to a different database on the same host.
