We use NagMIN.  When I have a large number of changes or a wide-ranging
change I simply dump the SQL, edit the SQL directly and reload it.  I wish
NagMIN allowed me to lock the database so I could do that safely.  You
should have it easier.  Just rewrite your scripts to interact with MySQL
instead of fiddling the config files.
