Hi All,

This may be a simple question, but its my first project using this framework and I'm at loss to find an answer myself.

I have data that I want to use within my application right from the start. I've got a table of 5000 entries and another that has 1200 entries. These items will be managed by users, but to save them the trouble, I'd like to have them prepopulated.

Currently I have them in SQL, but after DataObjects setup my SQL structures I inserted them in directly. After running the application again, the data was gone.

The only reference I've found to setting up pre-populated data was by actually using DataObjects to create entities and save them. This is all well and good for smaller lists, but there has to be a better way to deal with this.

Can anyone provide enlightenment?

Cheers,

Kevin

One Answer:

Hi twist,

I'm suspecting that you are building domain in DomainUpgradeMode.Recreate, could you check this? In this mode the tables are dropped and created from scratch.

For further information see manual, section "Upgrade mode".

Hope that helps

I did find this and changed it to "Perform". Does that mean that once the DB has been initialized by DO that you can manually work the data in SQL without issue?
