On last year's summer of code page,http://www.postgresql.org/developer/summerofcode
There is the following item:
*
DDL Functions*: Create a SQL-callable function capable of generating DDL
scripts for objects within the database.
Is there more information available on this?
Has anything like this been implemented?
I believe SQL standard does not specify such functions.
What functions and parameters?
What other functionality is required?
I have a usable implementation of this functionality,
but it needs some more work before it is released.
Here is some info:http://developer.postgresql.org/index.php/DDL_Functions
Currently it is a part of larger utility package, but
I would very much like release it as a stand alone
project on pgfoundry.
The plan is is to review current functions and move them
to a separate namespace before release.
This is a good time to make API changes.
Suggestions are much appreciated.
Thank you
Z.
