    I need to figure out if a change to the database would cause data loss.

    E.g. a user might *increase* the size of a text field and in this
    case the model should be adapted to the new size. This allows
    database managers some control over the database structure
    from the comfort of e.g. MS SQL Manager.

    If the model has a *larger* size of a text field, then I want to
    update the database column to be larger.

    I'm not sure I'm a believer in an automatic way of handling
    this since there could be a lot of application specific decisions
    happening.

    How about exposing the above two attributes in getColumnOriginal()
    and getColumnNew()?
