Apart from ALTER TABLE, you can also have an empty copy of the database (with the new structures) and issue APPEND FROM for each table. The tricky part is to copy parent table before child table (avoid "trigger failed"). Also, if you have a lot of data, it helps to compare table structures and skip tables that haven't changed (use COPY FILE instead).
