dbmstools 0.4.4-rc2 released

The second release candidate for version 0.4.4 of dbmstools is now available.

dbmstools is a set of utilities for software developers who work with databases. It understands database schemas (tables, sequences, views etc.) and DBMSs (Database Management Systems, e.g. Oracle, Postgres).

dbmstools is mainly intended for application developers who need to support schemas on more than one DBMS, or those who want to migrate a schema (possibly including data) from one DBMS to another. It also generates spiffy documentation for your schema, and makes testing easier, among other things. You can download the new release from http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=165690 , or check out the home page at http://dbmstools.sourceforge.net/ .

This version adds the ability to control the inclusion of any item in the schema, based on variables supplied at runtime. This allows you to generate schema variants based on any conditions you choose - particularly useful for things like including different indexes on your master and slave schemas for replication.

There have also been a couple of other minor enhancements and bug fixes.

Cheers ................. JD
