>>I don't have an answer to this problem for you; I would strongly advise that you purchase a copy of Stonefield Database ToolKit. It handles updating/recreating virtually everything you might want to, and provides a stroing set of tools for data recovery as well. And that's on top of the extensions added to basic DBC functionality. It's not free, but for me it's been worth every penny I've spent on it.

Such as? It's possible that you're correct; I haven't had to send out a .DBC with an app that I've developed since I started using the product; instead, I simply send out updated .DBC metadata and let SDT at the customer site do all the work. I've updated tables, views, indexes, stored procedures including default and non-default RI using it. Connections are built on-site, simply because I don't have the deployment details back at my office, but they're done by creating records that I merge into the metadata at the customer site. And with 5.1, it also handles many of the details of free tables and the like.
