    ... occours when operating on object-attributes not introduced yet:

  ... when issuing &quot;db_setup.pl --dbkey=import --action=deploy&quot;
  on a database with an already deployed schema, use an additional &quot;--update&quot; then
  to lift the schema inside the database to the current declared schema.
  You will have to approve removals and changes on field-level while
  new objects and new fields are introduced silently without any interaction needed.
  In future versions there may be additional options to control silent processing of
  removals and changes.
  See this CRUD-table applying to the actions occouring on Classes and Class variables when deploying schemas,
  don't mix this up with CRUD-actions on Objects, these are already handled by (e.g.) Tangram itself.
  Classes:
    C create    -&gt;  yes, handled automatically
    R retrieve  -&gt;  no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only
    U update    -&gt;  yes, automatically for Class meta-attributes, yes/no for Class variables (look at the rules down here)
    D delete    -&gt;  yes, just by user-interaction
  Class variables:
    C create    -&gt;  yes, handled automatically
    R retrieve  -&gt;  no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only
    U update    -&gt;  yes, just by user-interaction; maybe automatically if it can be determined that data wouldn't be lost
    D delete    -&gt;  yes, just by user-interaction
  It's all about not to be able to loose data simply while this is in alpha stage.</PRE>

<PRE>
  Get this stuff together with UML (Unified Modeling Language) and/or standards from ODMG.
  Make it possible to load/save schemas in XMI (XML Metadata Interchange), 
  which seems to be most commonly used today, perhaps handle objects with OIFML.
  Integrate/bundle this with a web-/html-based UML modeling tool or 
  some other interesting stuff like the &quot;Co-operative UML Editor&quot; from Uni Darmstadt. (web-/java-based)
  Enable Round Trip Engineering. Keep code and diagrams in sync. Don't annoy/bother the programmer.</PRE>
