Binil,

If you change a schema and only add a new DBObject, you can just re-run 
DBCreate [on the setup page] and the new dbobject will be created and 
default security added.

Same goes if you modify a Controller's States.

The only real issue is when you modify the definition of a DBObject [ie 
modify the setupFields].  Right now the easiest way is to run Component 
Manager on the Applications page, remove your schema, and then reinstall 
it.  You don't need to drop the db, create a new one, etc etc etc.

HTH!
