Re: [dtp-dev] Firebird enablement in DTP

[Lawrence E Dunnell <ledunnel@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Roman,

I think the practice for schema-less
databases (notably MySQL) is to dummy-out the schema with the database
name.  Thus, at least for MySQL, the qualified name would be correct
and the schema object would never be null.  Obviously, we can revisit
this issue when we fix the defects but I thought the information might
help you workaround your current issues.

Larry,

Thanks for your reply.

that this is a defect.  These features should be aware of the whether
or

against Sample Contents and one against the Data Editor.

I have opened following bug reports:

https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175454
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175455
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175456
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175457
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=175458

They also include suggested fix, which I have tested locally. It works,
though I used the released sources, not the CVS snapshot. I have 
included all plugin jars in classpath when compiling the fixes, so it 
might not respect some plugin dependencies, etc.

One more issue - different places of DTP check whether to use fully 
qualified name differently. Some (TableHelper in bug 175454) check 
whether Table.getSchema() returns null. However in other places DTP uses
table.getSchema().getName() code to get the schema name. Obviously, it
would generate NPE if Table.getSchema() returns null.

And one more question: are there any plans to release a bugfix DTP 
release or the next release will be DTP 1.5?

Roman
