Adding an extra data element or deleting Data element or modifying data element type later for data Entity which is already created in MDM

When we created data entity and than deploy to server in MDM it works, But later we modify the data entity ,While are deploying it, We need to select Recreate table in the drop down for MDM. Because when we create a data entity and deploy it will create a View in MDM ui which can be browsed, at the same time it use soap services and create one table in Database, so to keep in the sync every time we modify in Data entity , if we select Recreate table it will update Table side in MDM and Web ui as well.

 it also shows Apply a changes in drop down if not a recreate a table, Please look at example when i added an element.

Conclusion

If we modified Data type it shows Recreate table 

If we add it may show Apply changes

Yes, MDM uses the SOAP services to connect to the backend database, so always its better to check the option re-create table or apply changes at the time of Deployment of data entity
