[ANNOUNCEMENT] MDB2_Schema-0.3.0 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package MDB2_Schema-0.3.0 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- Warning: this is an intermediary release to address php 4.4/5.0.5. Some of the new features still need a bit more tweaking. - use MDB2::factory() by default instead of MDB2::connect() - added support for auto increment and primary key in schema. - alterTable now needs the full definition to work (use getTableFieldDefinition from Reverse module if you do not have a definition at hand) this eliminates the need of the declaration part in the alterTable array. - typo fix (bug #4620) - php 4.4.x/5.0.5 fixes - updated getTableFieldDefinition() call to accomodate API changes in MDB2 - MDB2_Schema has its own error class and error codes - made it easier to add new database backend to the example - better handle removing of indexes on renamed columns in alterDatabaseTables() - use array_key_exists() instead of isset() where possible - restructured changes array to fix bugs due to inconsistency in the handling of array keys - added ability to disable query for the alterDatabase()/createDatabase() call in updateDatabase(). this is useful to generate an RDBMS specific SQL file using a custom debug callback - prefer "true" and "false" over "1" and "0" - an emty default tag now implies NULL for nullable columns and an empty string for NOT NULL columns Package Info ------------- PEAR::MDB2_Schema enables users to maintain RDBMS independant schema files in XML that can be used to create, alter and drop database entities and insert data into a database. Reverse engineering database schemas from existing databases is also supported. The format is compatible with both PEAR::MDB and Metabase.
