This question is generic to any document-based storage, but at the moment I am using RavenDB.
Often I have had to do things in a hurry and test new UI tweaks by modifying the data. It’s easy enough in the days of SQL Server – whip up Management Studio, a few Update queries and such, and I have new data to test UI changes.
What’s the best practice when using document-based storage? I know RavenDB has the HTTP mode but I noticed it hung quite a fair bit. I keep getting the prolonged “Loading…” status.
What’s everyone doing to make data tweaks?
The plan for RavenDB is to have a Silverlight tool that will allow you to do a lot of the things that Management Studio allows. See here and here for more details
The current admin web pages in Raven are a bit basic, hence the need for something more advanced.
