Description:
In SQL Server I have a field with type `nvarchar(max)` and in that field let's say that I have this content "blah, he's blah" with an apostrophe. When using the migration tool it fails since it doesn't escape the apostrophe.

How to repeat:
Create a database in SQL Server Developer Edition 2016. Then create the table with content:

CREATE TABLE Test (
  ID INT NOT NULL IDENTITY(1,1) PRIMARY KEY
, String NVARCHAR(MAX) NOT NULL
)

INSERT INTO Test (String)
VALUES
      ('This is a test.')
    , ('With single quotation '' yep.')
    , ('No single here.')

Suggested fix:
Escape the quotations in `nvarchar`/`varchar`/`char`/`nchar` data types.

Thank you for the bug report. Please try current release version 6.3.9.

Using 6.3.9 worked. I guess Chocolatey has an old version in the repo.
