Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system that facilitates making updates to a data model, wherein the data model is associated with data items stored in a relational database system. In particular, updates to the data model are automatically propagated to the relational database system so that the structure of the relational database system remains consistent with the data model. This is accomplished by automatically executing queries corresponding to the updates against the relational database system. For example, changes to fields and/or tables in the data model can be automatically propagated to a relational database system by executing “Create,” “Drop,” “Alter,” and/or “Add” statements against corresponding fields and/or tables in the relational database system.
