Hi
A few comments on the issue of database migration:
- First, although you can alter the entitymodel.xml files, sometimes you
have to tweak the database a bit in terms of field definitions. I am not
sure if it is intended behavior or a bug though
- Second, there is an entity import/export (using XML) tool under the
webtools component which is fantastic for migration purposes
- Finally, if your database migration is complex (ETL stuff or you need to
split for example, a field into two fields) then I would recommend using
liquibase or equivalent, it is an excellent tool to that end. You can apply
changes, revert changes, etc ...
My two cents!
