Thomas Mueller updated JCR-1836: -------------------------------- Attachment: databaseType.patch Deprecate (but still support) the setting 'schema' and use 'databaseType' instead in DatabaseJournal and BundleDbPersistenceManager. > Persistence: support property databaseType > ------------------------------------------ > > Key: JCR-1836 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/JCR-1836 > Project: Jackrabbit > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Thomas Mueller > Assignee: Thomas Mueller > Priority: Minor > Attachments: databaseType.patch > > > In persistence managers and cluster journal the term 'schema' is used to mean > 'database type'. > Using the term 'schema' for that is actually quite confusing (in my view): > The definition of schema http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Database_schema is "the > schema defines the tables, the fields in each table, and the relationships > between fields and tables." > Additionally in most databases a schema is is a name space within a database: > http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/sql/DatabaseMetaData.html#getSchemas() > . > I suggest to support the property 'databaseType' in addition to 'schema' for > the persistence managers and the cluster journal. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
