Description
Hello
I'm looking to create my Dataverse tables and relationships via some kind of DDL text representation.
It seems the majority of the docs and samples for Dataverse are about UI based design. However, this is slow, and difficult to version control - at least compared to, say, postgres DDL.
Is there a recommended (hopefully not xml) based text approach to designing and evolving a Dataverse project?
And what is the recommended process for doing schema migrations?
Thanks
