For instance, as tables are added and removed, fields are added to existing tables, etc. How does Torque adapt? A DB schema can't realistically be maintained in XML (*-schema.xml, or whatever the Torque schema file is). A DB is maintained by DBAs through sql scripts or through tools like Erwin, not with XML. Is there some cache of documentation I am overlooking here, or is Torque not intended for real databases that must scale? I would greatly appreciate it if anyone can direct me to how Torque addresses an evolving database. Thanks very much. ------=_NextPart_000_0019_01C2F2E6.022C4210--
