Category: JBossCMP Group: v3.0 Rabbit Hole Status: Open Priority: 5 Submitted By: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Assigned to: Nobody/Anonymous (nobody) Summary: allow alter-table like create-table Initial Comment: Besides defining a create-table in the deployment descriptor jbosscmp-jdbc.xml for an entity / relation table it would be very comfortable to support also an alter-table. Especially when an existing system is changed over time "alter table" functionality simplifies deployment: For example when an entity bean is configured with remove-table=false, the data stays in the database when it is undeployed. Now the entity bean is updated with an additional field. When deploying the new version with "alter-table=true" the missing column is added automatically. At the moment the user must perfrom an alter table by hand and must "know" the table and the new column name. Something that CMP should prevent in general. Furthermore this could allow multiple entity beans to use the same table. Lets assume "creat-table=true" and "alter-table=true". Then the deployment of the first bean would then create the table, the deployment of the second bean could adds some columns. The code that must be changed is basically in org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.JDBCStartCommand.java org.jboss.ejb.plugins.cmp.jdbc.metadata.JDBCEntityMetaD ata ---------------------------------------------------------------------- You can respond by visiting: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=376688&aid=547494&group_id=22866 _______________________________________________ Jboss-development mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/jboss-development
