A few big changes in this commit:

[roundup.git] / roundup / backends / rdbms_common.py

# $Id: rdbms_common.py,v 1.82 2004-03-19 04:47:59 richard Exp $
''' Relational database (SQL) backend common code.

Basics:

- map roundup classes to relational tables
- automatically detect schema changes and modify the table schemas
  appropriately (we store the "database version" of the schema in the
  database itself as the only row of the "schema" table)
- multilinks (which represent a many-to-many relationship) are handled through
  intermediate tables
- journals are stored adjunct to the per-class tables
- table names and columns have "_" prepended so the names can't clash with
  restricted names (like "order")
- retirement is determined by the __retired__ column being true

Database-specific changes may generally be pushed out to the overridable
sql_* methods, since everything else should be fairly generic. There's
probably a bit of work to be done if a database is used that actually
honors column typing, since the initial databases don't (sqlite stores
everything as a string.)

The schema of the hyperdb being mapped to the database is stored in the
database itself as a repr()'ed dictionary of information about each Class
that maps to a table. If that information differs from the hyperdb schema,
then we update it. We also store in the schema dict a version which
allows us to upgrade the database schema when necessary. See upgrade_db().
