Last week I made the promise to make another round of MDB2 and MDB2_Schema releases by the end of next week. Appearently more and more projects are picking up MDB2_Schema like Jaws and Chiara_PEAR_Server. So I have a few more days to fix things up. I am a bit sick after 3 days of outdoor mixed championships. My frisbee team ended up second. We lost the finals 14:12 after leading 10:12 (game was played til 13, cap 2, with a maximum of 15). However it was still quite exciting to play at such a high competitive level for me. We have multiple teams in Berlin and so I am a member of two teams, but I have mostly played with the one that plays 2nd league level. So usually I am one of the guys who handles the disc alot and makes alot of catches. But in this top level team I was solely focused on defense and I even managed to force a number of turnovers onto our opponents in the finals.
Anyways, I just started to work on MDB2 again by cleaning up several issues. I have also continued work on adding auto incrememnt support (and emulation) as well as primary key support. This is actually the last key feature I want to add before going stable. The next releases might even be RC's. I guess I will also try to write up some more unit tests. I want to make sure that for the next release we have the major drivers ready. Actually it looks like only the Frontbase SQL driver will lag behind (maintainers welcome). Things are already looking good for the MySQL drivers in CVS. Lorenzo has already worked on the auto increment emulation for the Interbase driver and the PostGreSQL driver already has everything implemented but not tested. David has also done work on getting the MSSQL driver upto speed. I guess the Oracle driver will be upto me to expand. I will probably be able to make use of the auto incremement emulation implementation in Metabase that Manuel just released.
Aside from that I closed 3 bug reports with "No Feedback". Its really annoying when users do not take the time to provide feedback when I do in an try and fix things. But then again better some bug reports with no replies later than no bug reports.
Just a note, the Jaws version that uses MDB2(_Schema) has not yet been released :-)
We're eager to use MDB2 on Chiara_PEAR_Server, but won't be able to until DB_DataObject issues are resolved. ::nudge nudge to Alan K, if you're reading:: I've submitted a patch for MDB2 compatibility for DB_DO, and then we'll be good to go.
