Juanpa, this is something that I discussed with Asier and we decided based on "theoretical" facts more than testing. I've seen the tests you have prepared and it is true that we don't get any advantage for the extra-line we add for each "cell". I've included this change in the backlog of platform 1 team.
Thanks, Ismael -----Mensaje original----- De: Juan Pablo Aroztegi [mailto:[email protected]] Enviado el: miercoles, 04 de febrero de 2009 12:35 Para: [email protected] Asunto: [Openbravo-development] Database XML files format - comments withcolumn name Currently the database XML files have an extra line per column with a comment that shows the column name that is set in the next line. For example in AD_FORM.xml: <!--101**************--><AD_FORM> <!--101 AD_FORM_ID--> <!--101--> <AD_FORM_ID><![CDATA[101]]></AD_FORM_ID> <!--101 AD_CLIENT_ID--> <!--101--> <AD_CLIENT_ID><![CDATA[0]]></AD_CLIENT_ID> (...) I've been asking around why these comments exist, and the reason most people have given me is that this helps to have less conflicts in Subversion, because it takes 3 lines as reference. I've been playing with it and trying to reproduce various kind of conflicts with and without these lines of comments. And I get exactly the same results. I've also asked to those same people how can I see the benefits of those lines in terms of conflicts, but the test cases they've given me give the same results without the commentary lines. I have 2 questions: 1) What testcase has to be run to see the benefits of having these extra lines? (in conflicts) 2) Why are the lines with the comment necessary? Don't the real lines identify uniquely those 3 lines anyway? If they weren't really needed, having the half number of lines in each XML would be nice.
