------------------------------------
I no longer use DbGenerator. Should DbGenerator be deprecated?
The new MergerContext stuff is a million times better for my
purposes: to add new tables/columns to the database if the model
changed and the database didn't.
I am very much in favor of doing that. In practical terms it means
switching Modeler / Ant / Maven to the MergerContext, and add
support for some missing databases. Wonder if we still need to
preserve "generate all" mode.
I think the merger stuff (nice name) has some limitations related to
the order the different tokens are performed preventing us from
deprecating DbGenerator.
Within a single entity, different tokens are ordered correctly, but
there may be some problems with several dependent entities and
relationships between them. Before this is fixed/improved, I still
think we need DbGenerator. Sorry.
I think I found an easy solution to this now by adding all the
AddRelationshipToDb tokens at the end. It seem to work for my model..
