Add comment/user data field to database tables in CayenneModeler + MergeToken
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: CAY-1189
URL: https://issues.apache.org/cayenne/browse/CAY-1189
Project: Cayenne
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: Cayenne Core Library
Affects Versions: 3.0M5
Reporter: Øyvind Harboe
I'd like to see a comment/userdata field in CayenneModeler for the database
tables.
This can be used as a plain old human readable text string to document the
fields or in addition/alternatively as a private communication channel from the
modeler to an implementation that syncs the database to the model and vice
versa via the MergeToken list.
For instance, I would like all obsolete fields and tables to be listed in the
CayenneModeler, but I'd like to remove them from the model during the
synchronisation of the database schema and the model.
So a couple of things are required:
- there needs to be a comment field for table's in the modeler
- ditto for fields
- via mergetokens there needs to be easy access to the table/or field comment
so that application specific code can decide what action to take on the
mergetoken
