Re: [ANNOUNCEMENT] MDB2_Schema-0.5.0 (beta) Released.

Bonsoir, Congrats Lukas and all devs having bringing to that MDB2_Schema-0.5.0 I never realized how much MDB2_Schema was itself some self contained XML-DBMS (at least static) As it can contain some reasonabily described database , structure and content in it. Really nice. I went on this conclusion as I started this self contained description of MDB2_Schema: http://toggg.com/pear/MDB2/auto.xml It's raw and still in progress, but it's your Easter egg from me :) Data is in MDB2 Schema xml (view source) Transformed with MDB2.xsl derived from MDB.xsl from docs The html style is pushed out in its own MDB2.css file It's all self-contained. I look forward to build internal links in that a bit more and finish the show for indexes. Regards -- toggg PEAR Announce wrote:
