56 joko 1.11 Data::Storage - Interface for accessing various Storage implementations for Perl in an independent way
57 joko 1.4
58 joko 1.8
59     =head1 AIMS
60    
61     - should encapsulate Tangram, DBI, DBD::CSV and LWP:: to access them in an unordinary (more convenient) way ;)
62     - introduce a generic layered structure, refactor *SUBLAYER*-stuff, make (e.g.) this possible:
63     Perl Data::Storage[DBD::CSV] -> Perl LWP:: -> Internet HTTP/FTP/* -> Host Daemon -> csv-file
64     - provide generic synchronization mechanisms across arbitrary/multiple storages based on ident/checksum
65     maybe it's possible to have schema-, structural- and semantical modifications synchronized???

179     Tangram 2.04 from CPAN (hmmm, 2.04 won't do in some cases)
180     Tangram 2.05 from http://... (2.05 seems okay but there are also additional patches from our side)
181     Class::Tangram from CPAN
182     DBD::CSV from CPAN

425     =head1 DESCRIPTION
426    
427 joko 1.11 =head2 Data::Storage
428    
429     Data::Storage is a module for accessing various "data structures / kinds of structured data" stored inside
430     various "data containers".
431     We tried to use the AdapterPattern (http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?AdapterPattern) to implement a wrapper-layer
432     around core CPAN modules (Tangram, DBI).
433    
434     =head2 Why?
435    
436     You will get a better code-structure (not bad for later maintenance) in growing Perl code projects,
437     especially when using multiple database connections at the same time.
438     You will be able to switch between different _kinds_ of implementations used for storing data.
439     Your code will use the very same API to access these storage layers.
440     ... implementation has to be changed for now
441     Maybe you will be able to switch "on-the-fly" without changing any bits in code in the future....
442     ... but that's not the focus
443    
444     =head2 What else?
445    
446     Having this, we were able to do implement a generic data synchronization module more easy,
447     please look at Data::Transfer.

487     on a database with an already deployed schema, use an additional "--update" then
488     to lift the schema inside the database to the current declared schema.
489     You will have to approve removals and changes on field-level while
490     new objects and new fields are introduced silently without any interaction needed.
491     In future versions there may be additional options to control silent processing of
492     removals and changes.
493     See this CRUD-table applying to the actions occouring on Classes and Class variables when deploying schemas,
494     don't mix this up with CRUD-actions on Objects, these are already handled by (e.g.) Tangram itself.
495     Classes:
496     C create -> yes, handled automatically
497     R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only
498     U update -> yes, automatically for Class meta-attributes, yes/no for Class variables (look at the rules down here)
499     D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction
500     Class variables:
501     C create -> yes, handled automatically
502     R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only
503     U update -> yes, just by user-interaction; maybe automatically if it can be determined that data wouldn't be lost
504     D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction
505 joko 1.5
506     It's all about not to be able to loose data simply while this is in pre-alpha stage.
507     And loosing data by being able to modify and redeploy schemas easily is definitely quite easy.
508    
509     As we can see, creations of Classes and new Class variables is handled
510     automatically and this is believed to be the most common case under normal circumstances.

513 joko 1.8 =head2 FEATURES
514 joko 1.4
515 joko 1.5 - Get this stuff together with UML (Unified Modeling Language) and/or standards from ODMG.
516     - Make it possible to load/save schemas in XMI (XML Metadata Interchange),
517     which seems to be most commonly used today, perhaps handle objects with OIFML.
518     Integrate/bundle this with a web-/html-based UML modeling tool or
519     some other interesting stuff like the "Co-operative UML Editor" from Uni Darmstadt. (web-/java-based)
520     - Enable Round Trip Engineering. Keep code and diagrams in sync. Don't annoy/bother the programmers.
521 joko 1.8 - Add support for some more handlers/locators to be able to
522     access the following standards/protocols/interfaces/programs/apis transparently:
523     + DBD::CSV (via Data::Storage::Handler::DBI)
524     (-) Text::CSV, XML::CSV, XML::Excel
525     - MAPI
526     - LDAP
527     - DAV (look at PerlDAV: http://www.webdav.org/perldav/)
528     - Mbox (use formail for seperating/splitting entries/nodes)
529     - Cyrus (cyrdeliver - what about cyrretrieve (export)???)
530     - use File::DiffTree, use File::Compare
531     - Hibernate
532     - "Win32::UserAccountDb"
533     - "*nix::UserAccountDb"
534     - .wab - files (Windows Address Book)
535     - .pst - files (Outlook Post Storage?)
536     - XML (e.g. via XML::Simple?)
537     - Move to t3, look at InCASE
538 joko 1.10 - some kind of security layer for methods/objects
539     - acls (stored via tangram/ldap?) for functions, methods and objects (entity- & data!?)
540     - where are the hooks needed then?
541     - is Data::Storage & Co. okay, or do we have to touch the innards of DBI and/or Tangram?
542     - an attempt to start could be:
543     - 'sub getACLByObjectId($id, $context)'
544     - 'sub getACLByMethodname($id, $context)'
545     - 'sub getACLByName($id, $context)'
546     ( would require a kinda registry to look up these very names pointing to arbitrary locations (code, data, ...) )
