DbFramework change log
|
||||
|
||||
2008-05-03
|
||||
1. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Automatic checks and lists only
|
||||
the available DBD drivers for tests.
|
||||
|
||||
2008-05-03 version 1.12
|
||||
1. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Provide a valid default DSN for
|
||||
DBD::mysql, DBD::mSQL and DBD::Pg.
|
||||
2. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Do not create the schema if
|
||||
answer is "no".
|
||||
|
||||
2008-04-21
|
||||
1. Changes: Updated.
|
||||
2. Build.PL: Renamed test database from "dbframework_test" to
|
||||
"test", to adapt the convention of MySQL and PostgreSQL.
|
||||
3. TODO: Added.
|
||||
4. AUTHORS: Added.
|
||||
5. Artistic and COPYING: Added.
|
||||
6. Makefile.PL: Added PL_FILES to disable PL files searching
|
||||
behavior, in order to work with ExtUtils::MakeMaker earlier
|
||||
than 6.25 that treats Build.PL as one of the PL files to run.
|
||||
|
||||
2008-04-20
|
||||
1. Added lib and lib/DbFramework subdirectory. Move everything
|
||||
inside, to make the directory cleaner.
|
||||
2. Makefile.PL: Clean up. Removed PMLIBDIRS since it is not
|
||||
required anymore. Removed linkext. linkext is only needed
|
||||
for ExtUtils::MakeMaker before version 5. That is too old
|
||||
today.
|
||||
3. Makefile.PL and Build.PL: Use "use lib qw(lib);
|
||||
use DbFramework::Util;" instead of "require "./Util.pm"", in
|
||||
order to be more portable on different platforms.
|
||||
4. Makefile.PL: Renamed test database from "dbframework_test" to
|
||||
"test", to adapt the convention of MySQL and PostgreSQL.
|
||||
5. README: Moved Paul's BackPen URL to the previous line.
|
||||
|
||||
2008-04-19
|
||||
1. Added lib and lib/DbFramework subdirectory. Move everything
|
||||
inside, to make the directory cleaner.
|
||||
2. Changes: Added, with contents from original Paul's README file.
|
||||
This is to adapt the Perl module convention.
|
||||
|
||||
2008-04-19 version 1.11
|
||||
Maintainance taken over by imacat.
|
||||
1. Makefile.PL: Updated to use prompt() from ExtUtils::MakeMaker
|
||||
instead of reading STDIN directly, in order to prevent infinite
|
||||
loop with automated CPAN testers. (RT#34538)
|
||||
2. t/util.pl: Subroutine yn() removed. It is not used anymore,
|
||||
due to the prompt() fix.
|
||||
3. README: Add notice about the distribution ownership change.
|
||||
4. Makefile.PL: ABSTRACT, AUTHOR, LICENSE and SIGN added to the
|
||||
WriteMakefile() arguments. VERSION is added in replace of
|
||||
VERSION_FROM.
|
||||
5. SIGNATURE: Digital signature added.
|
||||
6. META.yml: YAML distribution meta-nformation added.
|
||||
7. Build.PL: Module::Build build support added.

History

=======
|
||||
|
||||
15-05-1999 Paul Sharpe <paul@miraclefish.com>
|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RELEASE 1.10
|
||||
|
||||
Added support for PostgreSQL.
|
||||
|
||||
INTERFACE CHANGES
|
||||
PrimaryKey::
|
||||
- New method as_hidden_html()
|
||||
|
||||

|
||||
--------------------------------------------------------------------
|
||||
RELEASE 1.09
|
||||
|
||||
dbforms.cgi
|
||||
- Can now update primary keys.
|
||||
- Removed dependency on ePerl.
|
||||
- Now takes dsn arguments to cater for variance between DBDs.
|
||||
|
||||
INTERFACE CHANGES
|
||||
Catalog::
|
||||
- set_primary_key() now sets labels if defined in the catalog.
|
||||
DataModel::
|
||||
- New method dsn().
|
||||
- new() now requires name to be the database name as pattern match
|
||||
to get database name forgot that this part of a DBI DSN is *non
|
||||
standard*
|
||||
- init_db_metadata() now requires DSN for catalog as it varies
|
||||
between drivers. Also now allows username/password for authentication
|
||||
against catalog database.
|
||||
ForeignKey::
|
||||
- New method sql_where().
|
||||
Makefile.PL
|
||||
- Moved most of the catalog initialisation here.
|
||||
- Manual creation of databases now required as there's no standard
|
||||
for creating databases. Each driver can use an arbitrarily named
|
||||
database for testing.
|
||||
Persistent::
|
||||
- new() now requires a Catalog object.
|
||||
- update now takes %attributes argument so that a primary key can be
|
||||
updated. The current object state is used to update the row WHERE the
|
||||
primary key matches the values in %attributes.
|
||||
PrimaryKey::
|
||||
- html_select_field() now has 'Any' *and* 'NULL' entries. I have a
|
||||
feeling this still isn't quite right.
|
||||
- New method as_hidden_html()
|
||||
- Signature to new() has changed now that label columns are
|
||||
supported by the catalog.
|
||||
- html_select_field() now follows label columns which are foreign
|
||||
keys back to their associated primary key table and uses the label
|
||||
columns from that table. This gives more meaningful select fields.
|
||||
Table::
|
||||
- init_db_metadata() now requires catalog object argument. This
|
||||
should improve performance as a new catalog object (which involves a
|
||||
database connect()) won't be created every time this method is called.
|
||||
- in_foreign_key() now returns a list of foreign keys containing
|
||||
$attribute
|
||||
DataType::ANSII::
|
||||
- Signature to new() has changed. Now requires $ansii_type
|
||||
argument. All data type objects will need to return their closest
|
||||
ANSII types as this is the $type which needs to be supplied to
|
||||
$dbh->quote($value,$type).
|
||||
- New method ansii_type().

RELEASE 1.01 (FIRST PUBLIC RELEASE)
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
To do
|
||||
=====
|
||||
|
||||
* BUG: dbforms.cgi delete on row consisting of all foreign keys silently fails.
|
||||
|
||||
* Improve dbforms.cgi interface. Perhaps a rename is in order too.
|
||||
I'm thinking of having a single record interface with record
|
||||
navigation. The form can then be designed and specified as an
|
||||
argument.
|
||||
|
||||
* Fri Jan 8, 1999
|
||||
BUG - >1 fk relating to the same pk table in a single table is not
|
||||
handled by dbforms.cgi
|
||||
|
||||
4/1/1999
|
||||
- User-defined templates specify attributes to be used for foreign keys
|
||||
and ordering
|
||||
- Allow relationships between the same table (in different roles).
|
||||
Needs documenting
|
||||
|
||||
* Make Bundle::DbFramework
|
||||
|
||||
* Schema grammar
|
||||
- might be better off using Jeeves (from the Panther book)
|
||||
- should handle relationships of degree >2
|
||||
- could be CDIF compliant
|
||||
|
||||
* Attributes of relationships should be stored so that full schema
|
||||
including attributes of relationships can be built from meta-data.
|
||||
|
||||
* add support for UNIQUE columns (different to ordinary KEYs)
|
||||
|
||||
* make primary key in grammar optional (1:1 relationships)
|
||||
|
||||
* make relationships optional in grammar
|
