Strategy for "automagic" synchronization with db

[Mikkel]

Hello X,

Im used from the Hibernate ORM framework that when i deploy my applications the application models are "automagically" forward-mapped to the database. So if i add a field in a object model it is mapped down to the db automatic.

Is this possible with the telerik openaccess or do i have to manually forward map my changes to the application model?

Hello Mikkel,
if you set the Update Database property of the Class Library project to true, any changes made to the classes in the class library will be reflected to the database on every program run.
We are planning for the near future to introduce a new API that will make it possible to reflect those changes during run time.
If you have any feedback on how the things should be handled please do not hesitate to share it with us.

Kind regards,

Hello PetarP,

Thank you for the guidance.

Suggestions for a upgrade/downgrade strategy is implemented in a simple and very useful way in the Ruby on Rails framework.

May i suggest that you take a look at how they handle both a way to upgrade on deployment but also a way of handling a downgrade.
