[mdb-dev] [PATCH] not all databases support length for datatype in schema

[David M. <mdb...@dm...>]

In oracle, the Date argument doesn't accept a length argument.  
mdb-schema, however, creates the following in the create statement:

...
my_date_col         DATE(8)
...

And oracle barfs on this.  I added a feature to the backend specification 
which controls whether the datatype takes a length argument.  Prefixing 
the datatype name with '-' turns off the length in the column-spec 
generation. 

It's a bit of a hack, I'll admit.
