Jan, I should be getting cvs access to gila on mozilla.org very soon (applied
for access last week), so will be able to help out with these docs. See bug #195192.

Comment 2

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

Great!
I appreciate your help, you know I'm not a native English speaker, it will be
better to write the page by someone native.
I will provide you all necessary details, just ask.

Comment 3

[Brian King [:kinger]]

Maybe Ian would like to contribute too?

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

Jan, Brian, if you need any assistance with this, I would love to help out! Just
let me know.

Comment 5

[Brian King [:kinger]]

Owen, we could certainly use your help. The first thing you can do is read Jan's
recent presentation, to give you an idea of what the component is all about:

Attachment: Revision 0.00a

Hehe, this is nowhere near ready... but this is my first attempt. This is also
based upon my basic understanding of the component.

To Do:
(*) Be sure I actually understand what is going on ;)
(*) Add more features
(*) Build QA tests

Can anyone else think of something I should add?

Comment 8

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

Oh, are my build instructions correct? Can someone clarify this?

Comment 9

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

Attachment: Revision 0.00a (QA Testcase)

This is the acceptance testcase for SQL support.

NOTE: All the expected results after step 8 were _not_ tested! As soon as I can
get Linux up and running, I can check to see what should _really_ happen. The
"expected results" are my best guesses ;)

Jan, is the SQL server at egentili.net1.nerim.net going to be permanant, or
should I look for a suitable replacement?

Comment 10

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

Yes, the build instructions are correct (sorry for not responding sooner).
Anyway, I should prebuild some xpis, put them somewhere and link from the
project page.
Owen, can we publish what we have ?

Checking in mozilla-org/html/projects/sql/index.html;
/cvsroot/mozilla-org/html/projects/sql/index.html,v  <--  index.html
new revision: 1.2; previous revision: 1.1
done

Draft (minus the unfinished stuff!)

QA page to come _very_ soon

Comment 13

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

Owen, thanks for updating that page, I created the sql directiory and checked in
an initial version early today, then I had to go. Hope it helped you since I
couldn't use the doctor tool directly to create a new directory.

Comment 14

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

I also changed the main project page. I'd like to simplify the terminology here.
It's my fault that I started using different names the project:
- database support
- native database support
- sql module
- SQL: Native Database Support (bugzilla component)

We should come with something clear and simple.
Any ideas ?

Comment 15

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

I already simplified the terminology on the pages and the component is now
called "SQL".
Marking fixed.

Comment 16

[Brian King [:kinger]]

Jan, Owen, the page is good, but seems a little sparse. I'd suggest creating new
page(s) based on the tutotial given in Brussels:
http://eu.mozdev.org/Brussels2003/talks/jan/index.html
It is useful because it lists implementation, has code examples and screenshots,
and shows in more detail how to get the test app up and running.

Comment 17

[Jan Varga [:janv]]

Yeah, I'm all for that. A more detailed tutorial linked from the main page would
be nice.

Comment 18

[Owen Marshall (Not reading bugmail)]

Reopening to add stuff. (I am _really_ alive, I swear ;-))

The SQL extension and component are no longer active.
