Can you explain this in detail? Why would modification of existing tables require migrations? Theoretically, I would just use build-schema, to imitate the changes that I make to the existing db tables. Follow it up build-model, to regenerate the model files. If that is a problem, I could delete existing lib (BasTable BaseTablePeer etc. etc) , and simply regenerate again.
I am not catching the point here, why would I need migrations?
