... occours when operating on object-attributes not introduced yet: |
| 108 |
this should be detected and appended/replaced through: |
| 109 |
"Schema-Error detected, maybe (just) an inconsistency. |

Please check if your declaration in schema-module "a" matches structure in database "b" or try to run" |

... when issuing "db_setup.pl --dbkey=import --action=deploy" |
| 116 |
on a database with an already deployed schema, use an additional "--update" then |
| 117 |
to lift the schema inside the database to the current declared schema. |
| 118 |
You will have to approve removals and changes on field-level while |
| 119 |
new objects and new fields are introduced silently without any interaction needed. |
| 120 |
In future versions there may be additional options to control silent processing of |
| 121 |
removals and changes. |
| 122 |
See this CRUD-table applying to the actions occouring on Classes and Class variables when deploying schemas, |
| 123 |
don't mix this up with CRUD-actions on Objects, these are already handled by (e.g.) Tangram itself. |
| 124 |
Classes: |
| 125 |
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
| 126 |
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
| 127 |
U update -> yes, automatically for Class meta-attributes, yes/no for Class variables (look at the rules down here) |
| 128 |
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |
| 129 |
Class variables: |
| 130 |
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
| 131 |
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
| 132 |
U update -> yes, just by user-interaction; maybe automatically if it can be determined that data wouldn't be lost |
| 133 |
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |
| 134 |
</PRE> |
| 135 |
<PRE> |
| 136 |
|
| 137 |
It's all about not to be able to loose data simply while this is in pre-alpha stage. |
| 138 |
And loosing data by being able to modify and redeploy schemas easily is definitely quite easy.</PRE> |
| 139 |
<PRE> |
| 140 |
|
| 141 |
As we can see, creations of Classes and new Class variables is handled |
| 142 |
automatically and this is believed to be the most common case under normal circumstances.</PRE> |

<H2><A NAME="introduce some features:">Introduce some features:</A></H2> |
| 145 |
<PRE> |
| 146 |
- Get this stuff together with UML (Unified Modeling Language) and/or standards from ODMG. |
| 147 |
- Make it possible to load/save schemas in XMI (XML Metadata Interchange), |
| 148 |
which seems to be most commonly used today, perhaps handle objects with OIFML. |
| 149 |
Integrate/bundle this with a web-/html-based UML modeling tool or |
| 150 |
some other interesting stuff like the "Co-operative UML Editor" from Uni Darmstadt. (web-/java-based) |
| 151 |
- Enable Round Trip Engineering. Keep code and diagrams in sync. Don't annoy/bother the programmers. |
| 152 |
- Add some more handlers: |
| 153 |
- look at DBD::CSV, Text::CSV, XML::CSV, XML::Excel |
| 154 |
- Add some more locations/locators: |
| 155 |
- PerlDAV: <A HREF="http://www.webdav.org/perldav/">http://www.webdav.org/perldav/</A> |
| 156 |
- Move to t3, use InCASE</PRE> |
