Making Migration.AddTable virtual

Hello,

Consider the case where I'd like to automatically execute a script for every table that is created. Specifically, I'd like to ensure that the COLLATION is "utf8". So I created a base class called "Migration" (so I don't have to change generated migrations). It looks as follows:

public class Migration : Mindscape.LightSpeed.Migrations.Migration
{
    protected void AddTable(string name, Field identity, params Field[] fields)
    {
        base.AddTable(name, identity, fields);

        // Change the table to support UNICODE
        ExecuteNativeCommand(string.Format("ALTER TABLE {0} COLLATE = utf8_unicode_ci;", name));
    }
}

However, the problem is that I can't overwrite AddTable. Would it be a problem to make AddTable virtual, or better yet, provide support for UTF8 collation by default for databases? Without that, I cannot store UNICODE characters in the database. They will all appear as "????".

Just a note that I am using MySQL.

Thanks, Werner

I have updated Migration to mark all methods that should be overridable as virtual rather than the random assortment that was previously there. These changes will be available in the next nightly build for you.
