I spent some time today reviewing the code after nabbing it at github. My priorities are:
1. Dealing with known issues that need resolution; 2. Updating/upgrading existing drivers on all supported platforms (mysql 5.1, postgres 9, etc.); 3. Expanding the range of databases supported and adding new features; 4. Reviewing the API for improvements; 5. Documenting the API and its road map; Please start populating the bug tracker with your issues and feature requests once again, with confidence that someone is going to pay attention from now on: http://luaforge.net/tracker/?group_id=12 :) - Bob On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 7:49 PM, Robert Calco < bob.ca...@softcraft-solutions.com> wrote: > > > On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 7:08 PM, Javier Guerra Giraldez <jav...@guerrag.com > > wrote: > >> On Wed, Oct 6, 2010 at 1:01 PM, Petite Abeille <petite.abei...@gmail.com> >> wrote: >> > This is where we diverge, as in my opinion there is no need for any >> specialize API to achieve that goal if one could simply query >> information_schema directly, across different databases. >> >> there's no need for any new layer if you want to access directly, and >> deal with engine diferences. >> >> another layer that presents common info in a common API (list of >> tables in the DB, list of fields in a table, etc), would be valuable >> for some applications, and definitely not the job for the lower-lever >> layer. >> > > Well, we are all vehemently agreeing that the low-level API needs to be > simple, clean and unencumbered by any preconceptions about its use (other > than the developer wants fast, unhindered access to the data at the other > end of the wire). > > We disagree about whether optionally to layer anything higher level on top > beyond that.
