We have to make some changes to the structure of several related tables in our M

We have to make some changes to the structure of several related tables in our MySQL DB in our production environment (i.e., change the character length of a column). These tables are associated with CDTs that are used in a number of process models and rules. What's the best way to make these changes to avoid 'breaking' our process models and rules. Does this make sense?

1. Update the table structures first.
2. Republish each of the related data types (CDTs)
3. Run Impact Analysis and follow steps to update process models
4. Re-verify Data Store (?)
5. Export updated DS, CDTs (which technically shouldn't have changed since the column and data type is the same), PMs, rules, etc.
6. When importing the updated DS, CDTs, PMs, rules, etc. - Run the data scripts that will update the table structures FIRST.

Please advise if I have any of these steps out of order or if I'm missing any (such as - do I need to delete the CDTand reimport the XSD file ...
