Hi Folks,
I'm happy to inform you that I have implemented support for
manipulating roles in dblook. Therefore now all the roles are created
at the begining of the generated script and setting and unsetting of
roles take place interleaved with object creation. Granting of
privileges to roles also happen interleaved with object creation. My
special thank goes out to Rick and Dag for all the help in
implementing this feature.
Also I recently realized that I haven't implemented support for
synonyms in the improved dblook implementation. I have added this
feature and so with that the implementation phase of my project comes
to an end. I'm currently testing my code with various sample databases
and so far all the results have been satisfactory. I will soon send in
a complete patch of all my workings along with some sample scripts
generated by dblook for some early feedback. From the results I've
witnessed so far I have a gut feeling that new dblook implementation
is accurate and working well for a great extent. Therefore even if we
come across a bug I don't think we'll have to do any major code changes.
In the next few days I'll be further refactoring my code, writing
javadocs and developing the necessary test cases to test the improved
dblook implementation. There are some Java 5 features in the code
(for-each loops etc) that I need to get rid of too. The test approach
was discussed in a different thread a few days back. My intention is
to finish writing the tests by the end of GSoC program.
I will keep you up-to-date on my progress.
Thanks,
Hiranya
