Updating an existing database after it has been deployed to production.

What steps would you take when using entity developer to upgrade a database?

1. You built your models in entity developer
2. You deployed your app, along with the database on your production server.

Now you want to update a database table, What do you do? Use entity developer to update the model then sync with the database or something else?

If a database table was changed first, then use Update From Database Wizard of Entity Developer to update your model.
