Hi there, database people. I have persuaded my database munger program "dbischema" to work properly again, written some manpages for it, and put it in a .deb The company I wrote it for has given me permission to release it under the GPL.
http://nipl.net/dbischema/ Dbischema lets you automatically update database schemas from an XML file which describes the schema in a fairly-much DBMS-independent way (although it only works properly with PostgreSQL and mysql so far). It can also port a database from mysql to PostgreSQL or vice-versa. A DBMS-independent data dump / restore tool "dbidump" is included. I have changed dbischema a fair bit in the last few days, and although I have tested it quite a bit, there are likely to be LOTS OF BUGS. Be very careful if you use it on real databases, and make backups! The manpages and an example schema are online: http://nipl.net/dbischema/dbischema.1.html http://nipl.net/dbischema/dbidump.1.html http://nipl.net/dbischema/schema.txt Enjoy! (and have a good laugh at my insane Perl code) Sam -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
