Ok. That's what I was figuring. But what should one do in a not so trivial case? I know enough forethought should go in at the beginning, but people make mistakes while others change their minds (user requirements). Hopefully this all happens during the dev stage, so you're not impacting a production system, but even on a dev system, it would be a pain in the neck to lose all that data.
Steve's DBUnit ant solution looks nice, but it might be nice for data modeler to have an import/export dump facility.

Ahh, I hadn't considered this. I'll make sure not to do that then. My intention with the reverse engineering was to make sure that what I did in data modeler definitely matched against the db (i.e., that I didn't miss a step).
