[ANNOUNCEMENT] MDB2_Schema-0.8.4 (beta) Released.

The new PEAR package MDB2_Schema-0.8.4 (beta) has been released at http://pear.php.net/. Release notes ------------- - fixed warning in validateTable() that was introduced in last release (Bug #15055) - fixed interpreter for mdb2_schematool, plus it is now been installed to bin_dir (now, really!) - mdb2_schematool has a new feature: initialize database - mdb2_schematool can now be used to dump data and/or database structure open todo items: - Clean up output of getDefinitionFromDatabase(). Sync it with Parser and Parser2. - Automatically load reserved keywords - Make MDB2_Schema loadable via MDB2_Driver_Common::loadModule() (Bug #8270) - Allow simple if statements that mean that anything enclosed is only executed if it meets certain criterias based on that version number (or some other variable). This would enable people to add DML statements that are only executed when updating from a specific version. - Modularize Writer code or remake it - Add specific error codes for Validate class - Add support for ORDER clauses on UPDATEs (to resolve the duplicate key problem) - Update description.schema.xml - Create unit test for comparedefinitions() - Create unit test for initializetable() - Create unit test to compare the expected array definition with what is parsed - Improve validateDataFieldValue() to validate <column> - Provide more info on MDB2_Schema_Validate errors (output parsed value and expected value) - Views support - Fulltext index support 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.
