Hi,  
I’m trying to use contexts inside modifySql for createTable to append “partition by”. But the contexts are not being considered and the sql is not being appended at the end.

Ex:

&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; .... &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; .... &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; 
Here I'm passing context value through "liquibase.properties" as "contexts=usePartition", still it is not appending the append value.

is it the rightway of passing contexts for modifySql?

Environment:  
liquibase version: 2.0 RC-2 (Build - 143)  
database: Sybase 15.0.3 (Adaptive Server Enterprise)

I’ll take a look.&nbsp; I created an issue to track it: [http://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-563](http://liquibase.jira.com/browse/CORE-563)
