[Opensource] Using Expresso with Tomcat, MySQL, Eclipse and Ant

[larry hamel]

no need to unregister schema.

if you do db setup AFTER making dbobject changes, setup will make all possible changes and tell you what it cannot do.  then i typically use a mysql admin program (www.webmin.com) to modify or drop specific tables if necessary, then run dbsetup again.

of course, with enough changes, dropping the whole db is efficient.

good luck,

larry
