If you want to use the framework for changes like this, you should separate Database changes from Data changes.

Create a migration for just the Database changes, and execute.

Then create a new migration (the Up() and Down() methods will be empty). You can now instantiate your DatabaseContext and there will be no error. This way you can use the Framework for these changes, and properly implement a Down() method.
