The page has mistake. Meigrate.exe can generate sql script for migration. It has option "/scriptFile".

Geez guys. Trying to learn EF6 migrations is confusing enough without me wasting time trying to work with the documentation and it doesn't work because the docs are SIX YEARS out of date. Shows what kind of priority MS places to documentation.

Hi guys! How can I execute ef6.exe as a different user? I mean, I need to specify the user and password that will implement the update in the remote database. Any idea would be very welcome!
Thank you!

For anyone not able to find ef6.exe look in the NuGet package cache, for example %userprofile%\.nuget\packages\entityframework\6.4.4\tools\net45\win-x86
