I am trying to update existing table using ef core with migration command.  
Its always creating migration history table. Migration history table created once i created table. How we can do update column name or add new column using ef core. Why its checking data in public nspname. For migraton history table it is test2.

Hi,  
Would it be an option for you to use an alternative tool for migrations?  
[dbmate](https://github.com/amacneil/dbmate) for instance works well with CrateDB, we just need to set the `transaction:false` setting.
