Now with the new sequelize migration is very simple.

This is a example what you can do.

    'use strict';

    var Promise = require('bluebird'),
        fs = require('fs');

    module.exports = {
        up: function (queryInterface, Sequelize) {

            return Promise
                .resolve()
                .then(function() {
                    return fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/../initial-db.sql', 'utf-8');
                })
                .then(function (initialSchema) {
                    return queryInterface.sequelize.query(initialSchema);
                })
        },

        down: function (queryInterface, Sequelize) {
            return Promise
                .resolve()
                .then(function() {
                    return fs.readFileSync(__dirname + '/../drop-initial-db.sql', 'utf-8');
                })
                .then(function (dropSql) {
                    return queryInterface.sequelize.query(dropSql);
                });
        }
    };

Remember you have to set:

"dialectOptions": { "multipleStatements": true }

on database config.
