NAME

DbToRia Development

DESCRIPTION

With the basic structure of DbToRia in place, there are still some elements missing for a public release.

The following work packages are largely independent. They will lead to a fully working DbToRia version with a feature set similar to that of Gedafe, allowing drop-in replacement of Gedafe without modifications to the database.

There will also be sample applications and software packages for simple installation and testing.

The current project leader (PL) of DbToRia is Tobi Oetiker.

Implementation Approach

To ensure implementation consistency and quality, development follows a few simple rules:

  1. Select task from task list below. Discuss with PL.

  2. Prepare implementation concept and plan. Discuss with PL.

  3. Document, implement, test. Send pull request to PL.

WORK PACKAGES

Road to the first beta

There following items have to be taken care of before publishing a first beta of dBtoria:

Pearl Plugin Support

Pearls are reporting plugins that ask the user for input prior to displaying the report. Gedafe Pearls should work with minimal changes. Effort 2 days.

Frontend Layout Update

Update the Frontend Layout to work with fixed screen components and the option to pop out windows. Similar to Extopus. Effort 1 day.

Incremental Search Update

Make incremental Search Combo Boxes aware of the number of hits and only do incremental loading for realy long lists. Add a refresh button to invalidate local cache. Effort 2 days.

Missing Features

While the basic functionality is already available, the feature set is still incomplete in order to replace Gedafe with DbToRia in an existing Gedafe application.

Direct Access URL

The filter and the selected sort order of a view or table is reflected in the browser URL such that bookmarking will allow to re-open the view directly.

Status: available, Effort: 6h

M:N Widget

Widget to handle M:N relationships between tables directly instead of having to edit a separate table.
