Peter_ uninstall unmanaged package - data loss? update thru ide and redeploy
we've created an unmanaged package and it has been installed in a production environment. The package added some classes and trigger plus custom fields in lead/contact.
1) If we unistall package the classes and trigger will be deleted, but i am unclear on exactly what data will get lost
- specifically do we just lose the just the data that was in custom fields or do we loose all leads/contact since package was installed...or all leads/contacts?
2)What is process for updating the unmanaged package thru the IDE?
my understanding is:
a) create an IDE Project against package
b) update code
c) save to server does NOT deploy the change so use IDE to deploy
is this correct?

In salesforce we have 2 types of packages viz:-
1. Managed - these can have versions and can be upgraded.
2. Unmanaged - these donot have versions and cannot be upgraded. (This answers your second question, but yes probably you can just go into the code and change it as in unmanaged package code is not locked.
Coming to your first query about data on uninstalling a package the part of data which is part of package will be lost on uninstalling, in your case the custom fields.
Did this answer your question? If not, let me know what didn't work, or if so, please mark it solved.
