I'll maintain that improved dynamic SQL is big, and intrusive enough to warrant its own release. That's not to say that we can't work on it any time...there is a pluggable architecture in place, it should be easy to isolate a dynamic SQL module. In addition to the technical complexity, we seriously have to settle on a decision surrounding this. Not the least of which is: What about iBATIS.NET? If we stray from XML and choose a predominantly Java-ish language to support (Velocity, Groovy etc.) there could be concerns around the uniformity and consistency of our product accross platforms.
All of these decisions require collaboration. I suggest we use our Wiki for such collaboration. I've created a Improved Dynamic SQL Whiteboard on the Wiki to continue with the development of the ideas. http://wiki.apache.org/ibatis/Improved_20Dynamic_20SQL_20Whiteboard So, I'm all for a 2.2 release that's all about Dynamic SQL. The plan I'll propose is below.. Cheers, Clinton ------------------------- 2.1 -- First Apache Release Ease of Use - <generate> tag for CRUD methods (as per iBATIS.NET) Object Oriented - <subclass> tag for inheritance support (as per iBATIS.NET) Flexibility - Constructor based results (not fields at this time) 2.2 Ease of Use - Improved Dynamic SQL syntax/flexibility - Pluggable SQL Scripting languages 2.3 Flexibility - Field based results Performance - Cache dependency on other cache (flush-on-dependant) - Flush cache at specific time (e.g. 22:30) Database Support - Save point support - Add true autocommit support (mostly for SYBASE procs) 2.4 Flexibility - Override/extend mapped statements (i.e. reuse SQL; overrides="statementName") Ease of Use - Improved configuration API and logging ------------------------- On Wed, 2 Feb 2005 13:36:28 -0500, roberto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > Just trying to keep this thread alive (or wake it back up)... > > > > To summarize, here is what it looks like with the given feedback: > > > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Road Map > > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > > > 2.1 > > Ease of Use > > - <generate> tag for CRUD methods > > Object Oriented > > - Inheritance via selects or joins (same as groups) > > Flexibility > > - Constructor and field based results (CB: Move up from 2.2?) > > Dynamic SQL > > - Improved syntax/flexibility (BG) > > > > 2.2 > > Ease of Use > > - Improved configuration API and logging > > - Pluggable SQL Scripting languages (RR: related to 2.1 Dynamic SQL?) > > Flexibility > > - Override/extend mapped statements (i.e. reuse SQL; > > overrides="statementName") > > - Constructor and field based results (CB: Move up to 2.1?) > > Performance > > - Cache dependency on other cache (flush-on-dependant) > > - Flush cache at specific time (e.g. 22:30) > > Database Support > > - Save point support > > - Add true autocommit support (mostly for SYBASE procs) > > > > > > Roberto > > > > > > > > > -----Original Message----- > > > From: Brandon Goodin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Sent: Saturday, January 29, 2005 10:13 AM > > > To: [email protected]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > > Subject: Re: Prioritize the iBATIS Java Roadmap > > > > > > I thought we'd work on getting the Ease of Use moved into 2.1.
