[Modeling-users] Release 0.9pre14 is out: Oracle supported!

[Sebastien B. <sbi...@us...>]

        Hi all,

  I'm pleased to announce that 0.9pre14 is out. The major enhancement is
the full support for Oracle database servers, both Oracle 8i and 9i.

I also worked on the documentation:

* the two parts: what a entity-relation model is and what are its
  properties on one hand, the formats in which they are stored on
  the other hand, are now completely separated in the Users's Guide.
  Additionally, documentation for PyModels has been written. It is
  not finished yet, but hopefully you'll find there any relevant
  informations.

    Description of E-R models:
         http://modeling.sourceforge.net/UserGuide/model-concepts.html
     and http://modeling.sourceforge.net/UserGuide/model-details.html

    Doc. for PyModels:
         http://modeling.sourceforge.net/UserGuide/pymodel.html

    Doc. for XML-models:
         http://modeling.sourceforge.net/UserGuide/model-xml-format.html

* A dedicated section has been added to document how to model and handle
  many-to-many relationships. See:=20
  http://modeling.sourceforge.net/UserGuide/design-rels-many-to-many.html

  We've already discussed this on the mailing-list, and I'd like to
  thank Mario for its contributions and for testing sample codes (all
  errors are mine, however ;).

        Best regards,

-- S=E9bastien.

0.9-pre-14 (2003/08/31)
-----------------------

  * Documentation:

      - documentation for models in general has been rewritten. In particul=
ar,
        PyModels are now fully documented

      - instructions for modeling and manipulating many-to-many relationshi=
ps
        have been added in the User's Guide.

  * PyModel.Model:
=20=20=20=20
    - Fixed bug #795561: __init__() did not recognize 'version' as a parame=
ter

    - Fixed bug #794185: Entity.__init__() ignores associations

    - Now raises PyModel.IncompatibleVersionError when a model has an
      incompatible version (was: ValueError)

  * Fix for bug #785432 included in the previous release was misplaced and
    inactive. Fixed.

  * SQLExpression: added support for joinClauseString(), which offers an
    alternative when the underlying db-server does not support SQL JOIN
    statement.

  * Full support for Oracle database: added OracleAdaptorLayer (do not use
    now, there are still commits). Test units updated.
