Is it possible to update the database schema when something changes?

Question

I have seen OpenUpgrade, which seems to be a utility to migrate databases between major versions of Odoo.  Is there any way to update a database schema when something changes between nightly builds?

Hello,

V8 is a *stable* version, so schema is not updated since the release.

It will be the same thing with saas version. Once the freeze done, we don't upgrade the schema.

The only db schema which can change at any time is the master branch.

Sometimes, you can need to update a module to have some fix in view (xml) but never schema SQL or other things which change the API !
