What? Jakarta-Commons or commons-sql? +0 to jakarta-commons going TLP -1 to commons-sql -0 to put common-sql directly into DB I skimmed the commons-sql code a bit and IMHO this needs incubation. The code sat in the CVS for quite a while until recently a few people started hacking on it. The structure is quite similar to some of the SQL generation parts of the torque-generator so limiting this project to SQL generation would IMHO be a bad move. I fact, commons-sql could even be split into multiple parts: - a data model (currently focused on database, table, column) - a templating backend that builds output files from the data model (currently commons-sql just builds SQL files; the torque-generator can build SQL files and source for Torque and OJB) - a driver which controls the generation process. There is a limited driver with the Texen part of Velocity In fact, only the implementation of the first two parts is really DB scope. commons-sql IMHO must show into which direction it wants to evolve: - Being an abstract data model for a database (then we lack things like sequence or view representations) which can be used in things like a code or SQL generator - Being an SQL code generator, thus omitting the possible distinction - Being an all-purpose SQL swiss knife. In any case, IMHO it should go through incubation.
