During development of my component I will install it several times into my Joomla 2.5 development site in order to test it, then make some modifications in Cook. I am unclear about reinstalling the component after it has some structural changes to the database.

Do I need to do a Joomla UNinstall first? Or can I simply install it again? Do i need to clean out the data? If so, how do I ensure a complete uninstall in Joomla 2.5?

Thanks,
Geoff

Yes, better uninstall and reinstall.
You will lose the data you inserted as test.
At some point, it could be a good idea to create a sql query that inserts the most common data, the one for the tables that won't change anymore

OK - but I was under the impression that an uninstall retains the data?

This is what you call a component builder. I was able to master using this in a very short time and the resulting component works like a charm. Not just a basic component builder but a fully working component builder with forms fields tables all ready to go. You can make the list and item views to display in the front and back end. Also there is a great forum just starting to evolve and I'm sure this will grow very rapidly when you all realise how good this tool is.
