Existing data is definitely NOT hosed. As Grant Cox points out below,
its really for schema modification. And the only data changes that
might be executed were if you wrote any DROP table / column
statements.
Also, data from an arbitrary DB can be generated via set of INSERT
statements, which in turn is generated by mysqldump (for example, if
MySQL is your DB). Just look at the "-t" flag to mysqldump which
suppresses the CREATE statements and just emits pure INSERT
statements.
Assuming your table structures have not changed, thats all your data.
