Yes, we did think of pushing SqlServer2012 as a separate package. but that is just talk right now.
I am not sure what will be good, a per-vendor-per-version packages for the db's or just a per-vendor package The first option puts in a lot of dependencies as soon as the vendors release new versions, later a lot of code migration will need to be done if we start depreciating older packages. But this will allow the user to upgrade selectively. One of the reasons for thinking of Sql2008 and Sql2012 is that the spatial dll's for the drivers have changed between versions. I am not sure about the case for other databases. The second option will force users to upgrade db specific dll even if they are still using an older db version (which might not be as bad as it sounds) but it will allow deployment with fewer dependent dll's and easier maintenance. All suggestions are welcome, contributors even more so ;) Regards Surya On Mon, Mar 3, 2014 at 3:52 PM, Stephen Bohlen <[email protected]> wrote: > That's awesome news -- thanks for the effort!
