- christinericks 13y agoIt automatically creates the schema based on the form data :)
- longstaff2009 13y agocool, what happens if I change the form?
- christinericks 13y agoRight now if you add fields, you'll automatically get that new column of data added. We haven't added a way to delete fields yet, so if you remove fields, you'll still see the old data in there.

The idea is simple, preemptively create a table with a certain distribution of column types and then allow the developer to define models in their app and map properties of their model to available columns. It is a pretty robust idea and works well, we use it in our product. I'll be doing a thorough write up on it sometime in the near future.
