CLR types (schema) evolution

From version 4.1 Eloquera supports native type evolution.

Eloquera.config contains TypeUpdateAllowed tag that determines whether type changes shall be auto detected and applied.

<SmartRuntime Smart="true" TypeUpdateAllowed ="true" />

If TypeUpdateAllowed is turned on, while storing a new object, database will auto-detect

· Changes in field’s type. Already stored objects' fields will be converted to a new type.

· Newly added fields. Old objects will be converted to a new type, with new fields assigned a default value.

· Removed fields.

A function to rename type is also available

void RenameType(Type type, string oldTypeName);
