Hi Madusanka +1 this will make migration easy for the users. Also this will make it easy migrating between milestone releases.
One issue to keep in mind when migrating database is that usually in production environment db users will not have table alter privileges. To tackle this make sure to check for privileges and warn user about it before the migration.
