Forum OpenACS Development: Re: Re: Accidently updated news-aggregator => Big Pain...

Michael, your datamodell change dropped a column without putting the data stored in this column somewhere else. And sad as it might sound, the values stored in the column are crucial. So putting a drop statement in the code is bad.

I do agree with your point that if we store the package_id in the acs-object we should not store that package_id with the na_sources table. But dropping the package_id for easier coding is not the way to go. Please provide an upgrade statement that puts the package_id into the acs-objects before dropping the table.
