Schema Changes

As Dreamdata's solution develops, so does the schema. Dreamdata is, however, committed to changing the data warehouse schemas in the following way to ensure minimum impact for customers.

  • New fields might be added to the existing schemas without notice. Most data warehouses handle this without additional work. Depending on how you query or import the data, you might consider what happens if a new field is added.
  • Removing fields. Dreamdata will never remove a field documented in the schema.
  • Renaming fields. Dreamdata will never rename a field documented in the schema.
  • Change a field type. Dreamdata will never change the field type documented in the schema.

When Dreamdata needs to add a breaking change to a schema, a new schema version will be added. Customers will get good time to migrate from their current version and handle potential breaking changes at their end.

If any schema versions have an end of life date, it will be clearly communicated to customers. Currently there are no end of life for any the schema versions.

How did we do?
