Couldn't there be additional future services in the future ? In that case perhaps worth considering enum for services, to be stored in a single service column, its values are: virt, gluster,...) instead of extending the vds_group table consistently when introducing new services (under the assumption no mix of services is allowed). > > We plan to make following changes as part of the patch: > > 1) Introduce an upgrade script for adding following columns to the table > "vds_groups" > - virt_service - boolean - NOT_NULL - default value true > - gluster_service - boolean - NOT_NULL - default value false > > => What is the naming convention for naming the upgrade script?

Make sure to verify script sequence uniqueness (under ovirt-engine/backend/manager/dbscripts/upgrade) before pushing, since there is no enforcement for that. > > 2) Modify vds_groups_sp.sql to introduce these arguments / variables in > save and update methods > > 3) Modify the DAO interface and implementation to introduce these > arguments / variables in the save/update methods and VdsGroupRawMapper. > > 4) Modify the DAO JUnit test class to take care of these new fields, if > required.
