a. After importing the patch851 project, instructions say to build the project if there are any database changes.

b. I am surprised with this instruction. (so I decided take a call at the end)

c . So in Demo, after looking at the DDD Audit, it is pretty clear that there are no changes to the database as DDD Audit is very clean.

e. Need to decide what to do with it.
