Sync database model with DB

[jasonab]

Right now, EA can sync its database diagram with the state of the database, but I would love to be able to go in the other direction.

Hopefully, if I then change a column name (or add a constaint), EA will issue the appropriate ALTER commands to the database to put it in the proper state. Has this been discussed at all?

That goes into the direction of RR's database engineer. To do what you want, EA needs to be statefull. I could imagine an add-in to do the job. However, it's not only ALTER but also DROP which is more difficult for sure. Since once you delete a table, EA doesn't have any information. So I guess, EA will not be the tool for database maintenance. Except you put in a lot of work by writing an add-in.
