Where possible, do everything in code rather than the database.
Trying to merge two databases is a giant
pain, but pushing new code and running update.php is fairly painless.
If you do have to make database changes after the client has already
entered data, you'll want to script it (often
using an importer).

Hello all
very early on in my Drupal learning process but have been asked to
come up with a solution where the client will be entering content on
the production site and we may very well be making structural
changes ( css etc )
on DEV and changes to the site setup ( for example a page name or
somesuch ) , is there a way to seperate the data entered for content
types from everything else so when deploying a site to production we
can do so without worrying about content being lost.
Thanks
