Description

This would be useful when we want to simply generate the .sql file and do the upgrade elsewhere or maybe check-in the schema transformation file and use it in tests repeatedly.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named in the issue. Start by tracing the command path that performs database updates and identify where an output-only option belongs. Done means the migration can emit a reusable .sql file without applying updates to the database, including coverage for repeated or checked-in use.
