Re: [uportal-dev] Proposed changes to dbloader and dbtest for 3.0

Yes, that would be the bit I forgot to include. The failure message would easily be able to include the XML snippet for the database/driver that needed to be added to dbloader.xml and instructions for doing so.

I almost suggested here adding a -f flag to "force" it to do the legacy behavior of trying without mappings, I think I'd much rather see any effort applied to giving it a really good failure message telling folks what they're missing and what to do about it.

I'd like to make some small changes to the behavior of DbLoader and DbTest for the 3.0 release. I've seen a large number of problems due to users not having the correct database mappings in dbloader.xml. I would like both the DbLoader and DbTest ant tasks to fail if no match is found. While this may cause a few more headaches on the few databases that don't need mappings it will be much clearer as to what needs to be done for those that do.

Thoughts/Votes?
