Hi

I use the following solution. I use a tools like IB Expert to change the metadata and log the changes to a file. These changes I then save in different DB with a table with field that has the metachanges and a field with a version number. On application start up I check the version to that the programs requires and if required run the metadata changes on the customer Db.

Hope it helps
