gda- import/export/creation

[Stephan Heinze <Stephan Heinze xcom de>]

Hi all,

I have to be in the office and so why not hacking gnome-db?

If there's anybody else on the list - There's a point on schema
implementation I need to discuss with somebody:

if there's a request for tables - should we return all tables available
in the database or only this tables created by the user himself? the
same question for procedures, types and views.

My first thought was to return only the user's tables, views and types.
But if you want to create a new table you should choose the type of the
attribute from a combo-box which IMHO should be filled with the results
of the schema-types-request. Now we shouldn't return only the self
created
types but all available.
another way could be the mapping of gda-types to RDBMS specific types
and the server should say, wich gda-types it provides (no selfcreated
types
provided -> a better posibility to exchange databases from one RDMBS to
another via gda ).
If we take this way - the scripts for import/export and creation should
be generic and should be interpreted by the gda-provider.

IMHO lots of discussions needed.

ciao
