Hi, I’d like to make a small change to the xml
for describing table schemas. Basically, I’d like to simplify how tables
that generate symbols are specified. I’ve noticed that when a table
generates symbols, it always uses the primary key columns. As a
simplification, I think we can just tag the tables which should generate
symbols instead of the individual columns which should be part of the symbol. For example, this: <tableDefinition
name="ControlEvent"> <columnDefinition
name="Dialog_" type="string" length="72"
primaryKey="yes" symbol="yes"
modularize="column"
keyTable="Dialog" keyColumn="1" category="identifier"
description="A foreign key to the Dialog table, name of the
dialog."/> <columnDefinition
name="Control_" type="string" length="50"
primaryKey="yes" symbol="yes"
keyTable="Control" keyColumn="2"
category="identifier" description="A foreign key to the Control
table, name of the control"/> <columnDefinition
name="Event" type="string" length="50"
primaryKey="yes" symbol="yes"
modularize="property"
category="formatted" description="An identifier that specifies
the type of the event that should take place when the user interacts with
control specified by the first two entries."/> <columnDefinition
name="Argument" type="string" length="255"
primaryKey="yes" symbol="yes"
modularize="controlEventArgument" localizable="yes"
category="formatted" description="A value to be used as a
modifier when triggering a particular event."/> <columnDefinition
name="Condition" type="string" length="255"
primaryKey="yes" symbol="yes"
nullable="yes" modularize="condition"
localizable="yes"
category="condition" description="A standard conditional
statement that specifies under which conditions an event should be
triggered."/> <columnDefinition
name="Ordering" type="number" length="2"
nullable="yes" minValue="0"
maxValue="2147483647" description="An integer used to order
several events tied to the same control. Can be left blank."/> </tableDefinition> Becomes: <tableDefinition
name="ControlEvent" createSymbols="yes"> <columnDefinition
name="Dialog_" type="string" length="72"
primaryKey="yes" modularize="column"
keyTable="Dialog" keyColumn="1"
category="identifier" description="A foreign key to the Dialog
table, name of the dialog."/> <columnDefinition
name="Control_" type="string" length="50"
primaryKey="yes"
keyTable="Control" keyColumn="2"
category="identifier" description="A foreign key to the Control
table, name of the control"/> <columnDefinition
name="Event" type="string" length="50"
primaryKey="yes" modularize="property"
category="formatted" description="An identifier that specifies
the type of the event that should take place when the user interacts with
control specified by the first two entries."/> <columnDefinition
name="Argument" type="string" length="255"
primaryKey="yes" modularize="controlEventArgument"
localizable="yes"
category="formatted" description="A value to be used as a
modifier when triggering a particular event."/> <columnDefinition
name="Condition" type="string" length="255"
primaryKey="yes" nullable="yes"
modularize="condition" localizable="yes"
category="condition" description="A standard conditional
statement that specifies under which conditions an event should be
triggered."/> <columnDefinition
name="Ordering" type="number" length="2"
nullable="yes" minValue="0"
maxValue="2147483647" description="An integer used to order
several events tied to the same control. Can be left blank."/> </tableDefinition> What do you guys think? (Also, I’m flexible on the
naming, so if you have a better idea than “createSymbols”, please
suggest it.) Thanks, Derek |
