350217 - Extensions need to be able to update Bugzilla's DB schema

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Bugzilla :: Database, enhancement)

Description

[Greg Hendricks]

I would like to use the DB module methods to manipulate the Testopia tables. To do so I need to be able to extend ABSTRACT_SCHEMA. 

Since this is currently a constant, it is not possible without patching the Schema.pm file directly.

Okay, I'm expanding the scope of this bug a little, to do everything that Testopia will need during installation, as far as DB updates.

Okay, this extends the hooks system to do what we need.

Does this do what you need, ghendricks?

foo.pl isn't clear. Does this mean I can name this file anything i want?

Nit: an example of what $args might look like would be nice here.

Okay, this much improves the POD.
