Will adding a column to table break asp.net app? -
i've inherited asp.net web app, , coming speed on being dba well.
before break anything, if add new column table, there chance break existing page crud operations? new column not, of course, part of existing operations , grid controls, , if allow contain null (so inserts don't require value input), ok?
i realize deleting column break things. adding nullable column seem harmless enough. (i think).
but want check!
thanks
well, depends on how app written. if, example, code uses column numbers instead of names it's things break, if add columns in between ones exist.
hopefully app has enough unit tests try out confidence. if not, maybe adding unit tests should first priority.
