... when issuing "db_setup.pl --dbkey=import --action=deploy" |
125 |

on a database with an already deployed schema, use an additional "--update" then |
126 |
|

to lift the schema inside the database to the current declared schema. |
127 |

|
You will have to approve removals and changes on field-level while |
128 |
|
|
new objects and new fields are introduced silently without any interaction needed. |
129 |
|
|
In future versions there may be additional options to control silent processing of |
130 |
|
|
removals and changes. |
131 |

|
See this CRUD-table applying to the actions occouring on Classes and Class variables when deploying schemas, |
132 |
|
|
don't mix this up with CRUD-actions on Objects, these are already handled by (e.g.) Tangram itself. |
133 |
|
|
Classes: |
134 |
|
|
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
135 |
|
|
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
136 |
|
|
U update -> yes, automatically for Class meta-attributes, yes/no for Class variables (look at the rules down here) |
137 |
|
|
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |
138 |
|
|
Class variables: |
139 |
|
|
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
140 |
|
|
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
141 |
|
|
U update -> yes, just by user-interaction; maybe automatically if it can be determined that data wouldn't be lost |
142 |
|
|
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |

It's all about not to be able to loose data simply while this is in pre-alpha stage. |
147 |
|
|
And loosing data by being able to modify and redeploy schemas easily is definitely quite easy.</PRE> |
148 |

As we can see, creations of Classes and new Class variables is handled |
151 |
|
|
automatically and this is believed to be the most common case under normal circumstances.</PRE> |

- Get this stuff together with UML (Unified Modeling Language) and/or standards from ODMG. |
156 |
|
|
- Make it possible to load/save schemas in XMI (XML Metadata Interchange), |
157 |
|
|
which seems to be most commonly used today, perhaps handle objects with OIFML. |
158 |
|
|
Integrate/bundle this with a web-/html-based UML modeling tool or |
159 |
|
|
some other interesting stuff like the "Co-operative UML Editor" from Uni Darmstadt. (web-/java-based) |
160 |
|
|
- Enable Round Trip Engineering. Keep code and diagrams in sync. Don't annoy/bother the programmers. |
161 |
|
|
- Add some more handlers: |
162 |
|
|
- look at DBD::CSV, Text::CSV, XML::CSV, XML::Excel |
163 |
|
|
- Add some more locations/locators: |
164 |
|
|
- PerlDAV: <A HREF="http://www.webdav.org/perldav/">http://www.webdav.org/perldav/</A> |
165 |

- Move to t3, use InCASE</PRE> |
