Christopher,

I've thought about that quite a bit and think it's not such a bad idea 
although I think we should provide a simple mechanism which instructs 
the user to how to flush the cache (maybe some day we'll have a 
migration strategy).  It should be at least included in the release 
version.  I would like to see that "critical application failure" thing 
we've talked about before for things like this.  I have created a static 
method to put all these things (org/kepler/moml/StartupInitialization) 
we just need a way to handle the exceptions comming from it.  BTW - That 
class didn't raise the exception you got (it came from CacheManager when 
it tried to create the PreparedStatement), but that is where I would put 
the test for db-schema revision.
