Hi there,

I faced with a problem when I need to upgrade my tables in the database using a model that has been extended.
I used this blog post to declare my model. I made some changes in the custom classes and now I'm trying to upgrade database but without any success... no changes, no errors... I just updated the declaration of fluent mappings but now I guess it was a wrong way...

How can I achieve this using the fluent mappings?

Thanks in advance,
Anton

Hello Anton ,

Not sure what is the exact problem, but generally the data provider is not upgraded until it is used for the first time. So it might get upgraded when you navigate to some page where the mapped data is retrieved. Also in order for the upgrade to take place - your module build number has to be bigger than the previous one used to create the db structure (we keep this in some log table), so if your module doesn't have auto incrementing build numbers - we cannot recognize the mapping has changed. This is because we don't want to test the whole db structure is up-to date every time some data provider is initialized -since this is quite slow. If neither of these explanations help's you - you can try to send us the project and the non-upgraded database to test what's going on.
