I thought I had sent this already but I guess I forgot to hit Post, so here goes - sorry I am cutting it a bit short because I don't feel like retyping it all...
I would like a "Repair" option in App Architect that would rebuild the database schema based on the project's metadata.
Key advantages:
* avoid need to separately bundle schema changes when shipping a web customization
* ease distributed development scenario (in case each developer have their database)
* serve as an "integrity check" of the project's metadata (the problem is that if there is a field missing in the database you will not find out about it until visiting the page where SalesLogix tries to access that field)
Thoughts:
* How to handle indexes and joindata?
* Can picklists be handled in the same way (at least creating empty picklists where needed) - this might require associating the field with a picklist when editing an entity
* This should be interactive so that the user has a chance to review the changes before applying
