|
|
55 |

342 |
|
Data::Storage is module for a accessing various "data structures" stored inside |
343 |
|
various "data containers". It sits on top of DBI and/or Tangram. |

|
=head2 Handle the following errors/cases: |
370 |
|
|
371 |
|
=head3 "DBI-Error [Tangram]: DBD::mysql::st execute failed: Unknown column 't1.requestdump' in 'field list'" |
372 |
|
|
373 |
|
... occours when operating on object-attributes not introduced yet: |
374 |
|
this should be detected and appended/replaced through: |
375 |
|
"Schema-Error detected, maybe (just) an inconsistency. |
376 |
|
Please check if your declaration in schema-module "a" matches structure in database "b" or try to run" |
377 |
|
db_setup.pl --dbkey=import --action=deploy |
378 |
|
|
379 |
|
=head3 Compare schema (structure diff) with database ... |
380 |
|
|
381 |
|
... when issuing "db_setup.pl --dbkey=import --action=deploy" |
382 |
|
on a database with an already deployed schema, use an additional "--update" then |
383 |
|
to lift the schema inside the database to the current declared schema. |
384 |
|
You will have to approve removals and changes on field-level while |
385 |
|
new objects and new fields are introduced silently without any interaction needed. |
386 |
|
In future versions there may be additional options to control silent processing of |
387 |
|
removals and changes. |
388 |
|
See this CRUD-table applying to the actions occouring on Classes and Class variables when deploying schemas, |
389 |
|
don't mix this up with CRUD-actions on Objects, these are already handled by (e.g.) Tangram itself. |
390 |
|
Classes: |
391 |
|
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
392 |
|
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
393 |
|
U update -> yes, automatically for Class meta-attributes, yes/no for Class variables (look at the rules down here) |
394 |
|
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |
395 |
|
Class variables: |
396 |
|
C create -> yes, handled automatically |
397 |
|
R retrieve -> no, not subject of this aspect since it is about deployment only |
398 |
|
U update -> yes, just by user-interaction; maybe automatically if it can be determined that data wouldn't be lost |
399 |
|
D delete -> yes, just by user-interaction |
400 |
|
|
401 |
|
It's all about not to be able to loose data simply while this is in pre-alpha stage. |
402 |
|
And loosing data by being able to modify and redeploy schemas easily is definitely quite easy. |
403 |
|
|
404 |
|
As we can see, creations of Classes and new Class variables is handled |
405 |
|
automatically and this is believed to be the most common case under normal circumstances. |
406 |
|
|
407 |
|
|
408 |
|
=head2 Introduce some features: |
409 |
|
|
410 |
|
- Get this stuff together with UML (Unified Modeling Language) and/or standards from ODMG. |
411 |
|
- Make it possible to load/save schemas in XMI (XML Metadata Interchange), |
412 |
|
which seems to be most commonly used today, perhaps handle objects with OIFML. |
413 |
|
Integrate/bundle this with a web-/html-based UML modeling tool or |
414 |
|
some other interesting stuff like the "Co-operative UML Editor" from Uni Darmstadt. (web-/java-based) |
415 |
|
- Enable Round Trip Engineering. Keep code and diagrams in sync. Don't annoy/bother the programmers. |
416 |
|
- Add some more handlers: |
417 |
|
- look at DBD::CSV, Text::CSV, XML::CSV, XML::Excel |
418 |
|
- Add some more locations/locators: |
419 |
|
- PerlDAV: http://www.webdav.org/perldav/ |
420 |
|
- Move to t3, use InCASE |
