Hey,
I would like to see some "official" dump/load scripts bundled into a
contrib/ directory or similar in our main tarball. The couchdb-
python project has a couple in Python, that depend on the same
library, and we could include them as an optional perk for our
users. Obviously, it would make sense to include somethng that
didn't need to depend on a library. Perhaps a shell script! Heh. I'm
sending this email after seeing a bit of confusion in the IRC
channel as to how to dump and load data out of an existing database
for doing upgrades between version.
These would only be needed for upgrades from 0.8 or earlier. 0.9.x
databases
can be read by 0.10+ and are automatically upgraded to the 0.10-only
format
during the first compaction.
Official dump and load scripts are still useful though, but maybe not
in very
high demand.
Cheers
Jan
