[jira] Commented: (DDLUTILS-28) Capture and creation of non-table
entities - constraints, triggers, stored procedures and others
[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DDLUTILS-28?page=comments#action_12370667 ]
Achille Carette commented on DDLUTILS-28:
-----------------------------------------
I would say that being independent of the database does not mean support only a (sub)set of common features. It means being able to flexibly adapt to various implementations.
This means that (for us at least), the schema definition file(s) should contain only once what is common to all databases (the database structure), but should also provide a way to define database-specific elements.
I see four points:
(1) What is to be defined in the schema dtd (for example, should the dtd define elements for sequences and stored procedures ?).
(1.1) The xml schema used is Turbine's one. What if DdlUtils needs more or different elements ? (DdlUtils needs informations an ORM does not)
(2) How to permit the inclusion of database-specific definitions in the schma definition file(s) ?
(3) How to provide a way to get the xml schema definition file(s) from an existing database, containing the non standard elements.

> Type: New Feature
> Environment: SQL Server, Oracle
> Reporter: Peter Millington
> Assignee: Thomas Dudziak
>
> Database build includes many non-table items - commonly constraints, triggers, stored procedures and others which may be database dependant (Oracle sequences as an example).
> Even the the common entities are generally not transportable between database types. The schema should allow multiple versions of each item to be created, one per database type which the user requires to support.
> Can the ddl-utils package use user-customisable sql templates to create non-standard items from (new) generic XML tags?
