Hi Tom,

I had checked out the workspace on 27-Apr and the names were changed after that. So.

Before we do the interface extraction, I'd like to discuss the objectives. For example, I think typed returns from collection-valued methods are easier to use and more robust than untyped returns. In the Table class, there are e.g. Set getColumns() which I'd prefer Set<Column> if we think it's ok to support only JDK 5, or Column[ ] getColumns() or if the objective is to support earlier versions of JDK.

And I'd like to have a chance to really review the package in detail before the extraction is done. Can you give us another week?

Thanks,

Craig

When you bring ddlutils over to the db.apache.org area, is there an
intent to change package names? Or are you planning on keeping the
package org.apache.commons.sql?

I'm asking because if there is a renaming exercise it would be a good
time to split the interfaces from the implementations...

Actually, I already changed the package names to org.apache.ddlutils. Only there is no mailing list notification of changes in SVN setup'd yet. I'll revamp the doc this weekend and introduce a couple of unit tests, so the interface extraction could be done at the beginning of next week, I think.

regards,
Tom
