Abstract
Embodiments describe a technique for database schema migration that minimizes queries to the runtime database. A technique is described for detecting whether design time metadata has changed during a schema migration without performing a database query for runtime metadata and comparing the design time metadata with the runtime metadata. The technique may improve performance since it aims at minimizing the number of times the database is queried for runtime metadata during the schema migration.
