Lack of ordering for foreign keys in WriteSchemaToFile results in spurious diffs
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

         Key: DDLUTILS-89
         URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DDLUTILS-89
     Project: DdlUtils
        Type: Improvement

 Environment: Oracle 10g EE
SQLServer 2005 EE
Windows XP SP2
Java 1.5.0_06
    Reporter: Guy Davis
 Assigned to: Thomas Dudziak 


We use the WriteSchemaToFile task to store our applications schema in a file we 
place in our Subversion CM tool.  Every time we run this task, it reorders the 
foreign keys on a table.  So, for example, if Table A has FKs X, Y, Z then 
schema.xml file alternates between:

<table ...>
   <fk name='X' .../>
   <fk name='Y' .../>
   <fk name='Z' .../>
</table>

AND 

<table ...>
   <fk name='Z' .../>
   <fk name='Y' .../>
   <fk name='X' .../>
</table>

Notice, that the keys haven't changed between schema dumps, just the ordering 
of them in the file.  This means tracking version changes is more complicated 
as a developer's real changes are mixed in with these spurious key position 
changes.
