data change questions

Question

Hi,


1. Can I store basedata in the xml and generate them into Data Generation Plan. Any reference link to do this?
2. Any data loss risk involved in GRD R2? ( I know before GRD R2, we could have data loss if we rename a column in a table)

Currently I instal GDR R2 in my computer

Thanks

Hi Helen,

1. I am not quite sure I understand your question. Do you mean represent the data (rows) in XML?

2. We improved our deployment mechanism so that we avoid the potential data loss as much as possible. In the specific case you mentioned, rename a column in a table, deployment uses sp_rename (instead of drop and recreate) to change the column name.
