Database reset when updating my schema

[rivaslive]

Why when I make any changes to an existing model does the DB have to be emptied? I want to bring keystonejs to production but this worries me that tomorrow the production DB will disappear...

Hey,
A destructive database migration will only happen when running keystone dev which is not recommended against a production database as it will reset the db if a clean migration cannot be performed. Have a look at the database migration guide in the keystone docs for more information on database migrations.

Couldn't automatic migrations be incorporated? Some CMS have no problems with creating migrations and creating new or edited fields in the DB, I don't want to seem intense, I just would like to not have so many problems when modifying a field in a table in my DB

@rivaslive did you read the migration guide? There is automatically generated migrations.
