Hi, We are in the process of bundling hibernate with Servoy platform (www.servoy.com) to use hibernate as database depended layer for DDL fired to backend databases and db depended SQL generation.
This works very well (hibernate is excellent lib!) but there are some small issues we want to contribute because they are missing or broken. So how should we contribute? Make a cvs branch which you guys merge when we are done? We want to add/change the following: 1) [enh]-add Table.sqlAlterDropColumn method and enhance all dialect to support this new feature 2) [bug]-tablemetadata.initColumns does not use local schema field but uses "%" instead, also reported: http://opensource.atlassian.com/projects/hibernate/secure/ViewIssue.jspa ?key=HB-534 3) [bug]-TableMetadata does not take the schema in the hash key for entries in tables map (is related to 2) 4) [enh]-add method to Table which constructs/returns schema.tablename (for use in 3) 5) [enh]-overload Table constructor with one to supply all required arguments at once (like schema and table name) 6) [enh]-if allowed, restructure the dialect/join fragments a little, move database depended classes to dialect package (like OracleJoinFragment) if possible to make it static innerclasses of the dialects, as a result all db. dep. code is in one place. 7) [enh]-Table.sqlAlterStrings rename to sqlAlterAddColumnStrings 8) [enh]-add a DialectManager class to package dialect which provides functionality to autoselect the correct dialect based on a provided Connection/DatabaseMetaData (using getDatabaseProductName/getDatabaseProductVersion) Jan Blok Servoy.com (the fastest way to develop and deploy db frontends) ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: IBM Linux Tutorials.
