Hi,
I want to extend my application with collaboration capabilities. For that purpose, I am thinking about migrating from XMI files to CDO/Teneo.
Is CDO already applicable for productive use or is it still a development version?
And what I think what is very important: How do you handle the evolution of the database schema? For example I have several models stored and EMF gets updated to a newer version. Is the schema changed too?
Regards,
Tex

Hi Tex,
Yes indeed Teneo is quite stable, a new version of EMF normally does not change the database schema. If I find a really
breaking issue in Teneo which results in a difference in db schema generation (to solve this issue) then I provide an
option for backward compatibility support.
As Tom describes, if you have extensive changes in your model then the Hibernate is not capable of updating the db
schema correctly. New tables and columns are normally handled automatically by hibernate, deleting columns/tables is not
possible (but most of the time less relevant when updating models).
