Schema changes on the iphone, migrations?

#41

What happens when the schema changes on the iphone?

Should migrations be implicit when the class definition changes? What about deleting or renaming columns?

    Thanks for creating this ticket Tys - I see from my comment on the blog that I never actually created the ticket.

    From my blog comment:

    My current thought is that tables can be auto-created, and columns can be
auto added, but column deletion and renaming, as well as more complex 
operations, will need explicit migrations.


One option would be to use SQL files to handle this, another might be 
to port the Rails migration DSL to objective C (minus the general Ruby support).
