Example
Lets image your client purchased
your database last year. Now they want some changes made to the structure of
their database to suit their needs.
In the following examples we will
explore how you can continue developing the new version in your office and when
you are ready, you just send your client the new front end. When the client
installs and opens up their new version, it will detect that they had an old
back end structure and automatically make all the required changes to their
backend database.
Important
Following the steps in the
tutorial example will modify the sample database NorthwindDATA you have created
in your SQL Server.
There is a golden rule for all
new databases. Before deploying always run 'SSW Data PRO!' at least once.
This is so future versions of the front end can determine the version of the
backend. So for the purpose of this demo, you should create a backup (copy) of
the NorthwindDATA file and name it NorthwindDATABackup. Then perform the
following tutorial steps on NorthwindDATA.
