There was never an official Roller 4.1 release, so the correct script to add is 400-to-500 and I have a working one in my workspace now. <sidebar> It would be better to have a more fine-grained versioning of database changes. Using the Roller release number causes problems for people who upgrade to latest trunk. I wonder if there is a way to use the SVN rev number of the createdb.vm instead. </sidebar> > 2) When I add a column in, e.g. WeblogEntry.orm.xml, does the *create* > scripts need to change as well or are they generated by the ORMs? No. We do not rely on any ORM generated table definitions. We have our own infrastructure for that. - Dave
