NHibernate doens't have a build-in migrations tool. It can generate the whole database, you cannot select parts from it. The best you can do with NHibernate is dump the sql-log of the database generation and copy paste the new parts in a sql script.

There is a SchemaUpdate tool as well as the SchemaExport, though I'm not certain of it's capabilities.

Schema update does a lot, but not everything. Adding new tables seems to work fine, but removing or changing does not work or does strange things. I think it's unfinished. The java version seems to do more than the .net version.
