back to FAQ6. Operating
with different versions of database schemas.
Q: I'll be upgrading my
applications and the database schema will be changing. Can I
operate with different versions of schemas?
A: when companies deploy new
releases to an application, either by plan or by other
circumstances, not all users will upgrade to the new release at
the same time. This means that there will be different versions
of the database schema in incoming synchronization messages.
Using SyncSmart's centralized administration tool (sync admin),
administrators can easily configure a message server to
recognize the version of a database schema in a synchronization
message and automatically map or upgrade the message to the
corresponding version of the database into which it is to be
imported. This process is similar to the way ms office products,
such as word, upgrade documents saved under older versions
