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.
