NAME |
| 2 |
Data::Storage - Interface for accessing various Storage implementations |
| 3 |
for Perl in an independent way |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
SYNOPSIS |
| 6 |
... the basic way: |
| 7 |
|
| 8 |
... via inheritance: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
use Data::Storage; |
| 11 |
my $proxyObj = new HttpProxy; |
| 12 |
$proxyObj->{url} = $url; |
| 13 |
$proxyObj->{payload} = $content; |
| 14 |
$self->{storage}->insert($proxyObj); |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
use Data::Storage; |
| 17 |
my $proxyObj = HttpProxy->new( |
| 18 |
url => $url, |
| 19 |
payload => $content, |
| 20 |
); |
| 21 |
$self->{storage}->insert($proxyObj); |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
NOTE |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
This module heavily relies on DBI and Tangram, but adds a lot of |
| 26 |
additional bugs and quirks. Please look at their documentation and this |
| 27 |
code for additional information. |
| 28 |
|
| 29 |
DESCRIPTION |
| 30 |
Data::Storage is module for a accessing various "data structures" stored |
| 31 |
inside various "data containers". It sits on top of DBI and/or Tangram. |

TODO |
| 49 |
Handle the following errors/cases: |
| 50 |
|
| 51 |
"DBI-Error [Tangram]: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 't1.requestdump' in 'field list'" |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
... occours when operating on object-attributes not introduced yet: |
| 54 |
this should be detected and appended/replaced through: |
| 55 |
"Schema-Error detected, maybe (just) an inconsistency. |
| 56 |
Please check if your declaration in schema-module "a" matches structure in database "b" or try to run" |
| 57 |
db_setup.pl --dbkey=import --action=deploy |
| 58 |
|
| 59 |
Compare schema (structure diff) with database ... |
| 60 |
|
| 61 |
... when issuing "db_setup.pl --dbkey=import --action=deploy" |
| 62 |
on a database with an already deployed schema, use an additional "--update" then |
| 63 |
to lift the schema inside the database to the current declared schema. |
| 64 |
You will have to approve removals and changes on field-level while |
| 65 |
new objects and new fields are introduced silently without any interaction needed. |
| 66 |
In future versions there may be additional options to control silent processing of |
| 67 |
removals and changes. |
| 68 |
See this CRUD-table applying to the actions occouring on Classes and Class variables when deploying schemas, |
| 69 |
don't mix this up with CRUD-actions on Objects, these are already handled by (e.g.) Tangram itself. |
| 70 |
Classes: |
| 71 |
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
| 72 |
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
| 73 |
U update -> yes, automatically for Class meta-attributes, yes/no for Class variables (look at the rules down here) |
| 74 |
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |
| 75 |
Class variables: |
| 76 |
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
| 77 |
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
| 78 |
U update -> yes, just by user-interaction; maybe automatically if it can be determined that data wouldn't be lost |
| 79 |
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |
| 80 |
It's all about not to be able to loose data simply while this is in alpha stage. |
| 81 |
|
| 82 |
Introduce some features: |
| 83 |
|
| 84 |
Get this stuff together with UML (Unified Modeling Language) and/or standards from ODMG. |
| 85 |
Make it possible to load/save schemas in XMI (XML Metadata Interchange), |
| 86 |
which seems to be most commonly used today, perhaps handle objects with OIFML. |
| 87 |
Integrate/bundle this with a web-/html-based UML modeling tool or |
| 88 |
some other interesting stuff like the "Co-operative UML Editor" from Uni Darmstadt. (web-/java-based) |
| 89 |
Enable Round Trip Engineering. Keep code and diagrams in sync. Don't annoy/bother the programmer. |
