Topic: Database restructuring

If you change the program data structure after creating your application you are prompted to delete your database and start over. If you don't delete the database, then the structure changes don't seem to be picked up.

Clearly, if you have typed in a lot of records, then decide later on to add a new feature to the database application, that say requires adding a new table, then having to delete the data and start over is hardly convenient.

Is the recommended option to add new tables using a third party sqlite tool? or am i missing something important and this behaviour isn't what's supposed to be happening.

Re: Database restructuring

In the current version unfortunately changing the structure without deleting data is not possible.
but soon I will fix it.


Now you can use sqlite for change DB strructure,
then make a change in the structure of database in MVD, and answered "No" when the dialog asks to recreate the database, so data is not lost.
