I do schema manipulations in 0.6 regularly. The answer is automation. As for data corruption: what did you read that gave you that impression? If this is the only motivator and you are really only changing things once/week or so, I suggest sticking with 0.6 and figuring out some automation. You should be using it, anyway. b
