Get Latest - script

andreas_agren

Hello

When getting the latest changes from e.g. svn into a database there is a script created behind the curtains that does the changes, I have two questions regarding this.

1. Is it possible to get to review and edit this script before it is run when clicking "Get Latest"?

2. Data loss - I had a change in svn that dropped a column and a table (that contained data), "Get Latest" happily did these changes without any warning. This seems very dangerous since people makes mistakes. Can I somehow tune which changes are acceptable when clicking "Get Latest"?

Thanks for the feedback. What we hope to do in an upcoming release is to pop up a warning when any data loss could occur as a result of a 'get latest', so you can validate that this is indeed what you expect before going ahead with it.

Thanks for the information.

What about my first question, is it possible to review and edit the script before it is run by "Get Latest"?

There's no way of doing that right now. If the script fails to run successfully, for whatever reason, the script can be viewed.
