 * Interface to implement when creating a custom change that generates SQL.  When updating a database,
 * implementing this interface is preferred over CustomTaskChange because the SQL can either be executed
 * directly or saved to a text file for later use depending on the migration mode used.  To allow
 * the change to be rolled back, also implement the CustomSqlRollback interface.  If your change requires sql-based
 * logic and non-sql-based logic, it is best to create a change set that contains a mix of CustomSqlChange and CustomTaskChange calls.
