I'd like to come back to this issue a bit, because I think this can be
done better.
My idea is that instead of having a fixed list of db schemas to build,
that are specified in the Makefile, we should build any db schema
contained in a file that matches the pattern openser-*.xml
With this is very easy for someone to add extra db schemas for extension
modules without any need to include some extra.xml that is not present.
All one has to do is drop in an openser-mymodule.xml file and it will be
automatically build. If it's not there no warning will be issued.
This approach has another advantage. It allows me to define the db schemas
for different modules/extensions in different files. With extra.xml I'm
forced to put them all together in a single file, which is suboptimal
(just imagine I have multiple extensions but I do not want to deliver
them all together in all cases, which will require me to manually edit
extra.xml for each specific case).
If there are no objections against this, I'll go ahead and do this.
Hello Dan,
the current approach has the advantage that it allows someone to specify which
tables he want to use in the Makefile, other tables are not generated.
What about adding a directory db/schema/extra and every table definition
put into this directory will be generated without the need to specify in
the Makefile?
