Status in Zeitgeist Framework: New Bug description: The recently merged changes to use journal_mode=WAL and adding some columns to event_view requires schema upgrades. 1) Setting WAL journalling *permanently* makes the DB unreadable with sqlite 3.6 which is still widely deployed. Notably if I boot back into Ubuntu Lucid Lynx Zeitgeist will no longer work as lucid only ships sqlite 3.6. 2) Contrary to what is stated in the merge request for the event_view changes the event_view VIEW is *not* regenerated on each startup. That is one of the whole points of doing schema versioning. This change makes Zeitgeist trunk unable to return any results if run on an older db. Strangely enough it doesn't raise any errors... Guys - if you are making low level changes to our DB structure like both of these changes are, please make sure you understand all the ramifications before merging. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist Post to : zeitgeist@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~zeitgeist More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
