[Gitstat-devel] We need some way of checking if the database tables are at the correct level

[Paul V. <pau...@gm...>]

Hi,

Because of the stuff I'm currently doing for tag management I need to add a 
visible item to the v_tag table.

This is of course easy but it's already the second update to the database and 
more are likely to come and we should prepare for this.

What about some kind of version control for the database tables? We need 
something in the database that tells us the current version of the schema. 
lib.php (most likely candidate) should have a variable set to the needed/current 
version. If these 2 don't match do a bunch of updates.
The above is like mythtv does it currently and sounds like a good approach.

Comments? Remarks? Suggestions?

Cheers,

Paul.
