Good thing I made a backup
I want to modify a few fields in main table, but then after I sync, the database view disappears, even worse is all the server events I custom created.
How can I modify the main table fields without losing the database view and custom server events?
All I did was rename 1 field:
from customer_id to customer_fk_id in main table, after sync, then the database view disappears.
Solved, just as I suspected.
Before renaming the main table field, uncheck the field you want to rename in the database view by "alter view"
(so if I wanted to rename customer_id to customer_fk_id, I would need to uncheck [_] customer_id and save the view)
then go to phpmyadmin
rename the main table field from customer_id to customer_fk_id
save table
phpmaker sync db tables
check that the database view didn't disappear (yes, it is still there)
go back to that database view that I unchecked [_] customer_id
then edit "alter view"
will see the renamed field
[_] customer_fk_id
check the checkbox
[X] customer_fk_id
Save the view
check server events (all my custom code is still there)
