Comment:
The mapping mechanism looks good for the schema structure. But I cannot
vote in favor of this package (nor against completely), because it is
quite naive when it comes to handling the SQL identifiers.
In principle, the SQL specs do not limit what you can name a schema,
database, table or field. If you want to, you could name a field:
Foo*Bar!!!Boing \Plink
including the spaces there, even use any charset (accents, etc.)
That is why I pointed out the ISO spec for doing just this mapping when
this idea was first discussed in the pear-dev list. There is even a freely
downloadable draft you could've used.
I know the ISO standard is big and boring (I did an implementation in Java
of this a couple of years ago in my previous job), and it should be
considered for a future release or even before the first release. That way
it would be applicable in a more general case. Even more in view of the
fact that some of the big db vendors support importing from the ISO
standard XML representation into their own dbs (Oracle and DB2 come to
mind).
