kdevelop-database

This project aims to give kdevelop the the tools to facilitate the interaction
with databases. The purpose is to ease and evolve the development process and
to avoid problems and dumb work.

For now, only MySQL is in scope, but maybe someday, other servers
will be taken into account. The most significant features planed are:

- Import from database
    Import database objects into script files. With this aproach to database development
    you'll be able to source control your database structure, audit changes, branch, etc.

- Export the scripts into the database
    You can deploy your code directly or generate a deploy script and execute it on several 
    databases. Independent of your connection, the deploy scrips is generated from the 
    differences between your code and the target database.

- Code completion
    Include the database objects into the builtin code completion engine. The suggestions
    presented should be context sensitive, so when you type "my_table." you should get
    the fields from that table.

- Schema view
    Browse the current schema, view and change data. View the objects properties.

- Run queries against a database
    Write your SQL script and run it on a target database.

- Script debug
    Write a stored procedure, a function or a simple query and debug it, giving you
    access to watch variables, step execution, etc.

- Schema compilation and error reporting
    To build a schema file, the code will have to be validated and errors reported.

- Generic deployment script generation
    Generate deployment scripts to run on several identical targets.

- Pos-deployment script
    Populate tables or execute what ever necessary after deployment.

- Object graphical model
    Graphical modelling of your database.

For MySQL support, some tools are necessary to be installed like mysqldbexport,
mysqldbimport, mysqldiff and mysqlmetagrep. These tools are usualy installed
with MySQL Workbench.

How to use

- Install MySQL Workbench, so that the tools are made available.
- Build and install this project

    >cd build
    >cmake -DCMAKE_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
    >make
    >make install

- Open kdevelop and create a new project. You should have a new section called "Database" 
  and then, select "Database Project". Set the name and directory and it's done.
- Right clicking on the project root will give you the oprations like importing and exporting

Features planed for version 0.1

- Import database objects into script files
