I apologize for the wrong (or outdated) info in #2. That's one of the great things about this forum - there are plenty of people to correct mistakes.

Now, I'm still wonderin' if DDL propogation was available in 8.0.5? That is the version that I based my answer on when I worked with A/R. I recall, stopping everything and manually doing the DDL changes. This does not mean that DDL propergation wasn't available back then too. If anyone knows, please share.

sorry again!
