P.S. my current environment is
Groovy 2.3.8 / WebObjects 5.4.3 / ERExtensions 6.1.2-SNAPSHOT / Java 1.7.0_13 / Mac OS X 10.8.5 / FrontBase 7.2

have you looked at the migrations?
ERXMigrationTable personTable = database.existingTableNamed("person");
personTable.existingColumnNamed("Foo").renameTo("Bar”);
personTable.newStringColumn(name, width, allowsNull)
well... the API looks OK, but in practice it does not seem quite work. Can you (or anybody knowledgeable) please point out what am I doing wrong? Here's my code (sans error checking etc. for better readability)
===
EOObjectStoreCoordinator osc=EOObjectStoreCoordinator.defaultCoordinator()
EODatabaseContext ctxt=ERXEOAccessUtilities.databaseContextForEntityNamed(osc,'DBAuction')
ctxt.lock();
try {
EOAdaptorChannel ach = ctxt.availableChannel().adaptorChannel();
if (!ach.isOpen()) ach.openChannel();
def tables=ach.describeTableNames() // looks like Migration API does not read the current state reliably
EOModel dbModel=ach.describeModelWithTableNames(tables)
ERXMigrationDatabase mdb=nil // created on-demand
mdg.models.each { EOModel localModel ->
localModel.entities.each { EOEntity localEntity ->
if (localEntity.isAbstractEntity()) return
String tname=localEntity.externalName()
EOEntity dbEntity=dbModel.entityNamed(tname)
ERXMigrationTable mtable=nil // on-demand
localEntity.attributes.each { EOAttribute localAttribute ->
String cname=localAttribute.columnName()
EOAttribute dbAttribute=dbEntity.attributeNamed(cname)
if (!dbAttribute) {
println " adding column $cname ($localAttribute.name): $localAttribute.externalType (VT: $localAttribute.valueType) ..."
if (!mdb) mdb=ERXMigrationDatabase.database(ach)
if (!mtable) mtable=mdb.existingTableNamed(tname)
switch (localAttribute.externalType) {
...
case 'TIMESTAMP':
mtable.newTimestampColumn(cname,YES)
break
}
println " - OK"
}
}
}
}
} finally {
ctxt.unlock()
}
===
but it crashes, printing out
===
adding column DC_ID (ID): TIMESTAMP (VT: null) ...
22:42:09.409 INFO Executing alter table T_AUCTION null DC_ID TIMESTAMP //log:er.extensions.jdbc.ERXJDBCUtilities [main]
...
Caused by: java.lang.RuntimeException: Failed to execute 'alter table T_AUCTION null DC_ID TIMESTAMP'.
Caused by: java.sql.SQLException: Syntax error 179. Illegal ALTER TABLE statement.
===
Well self-evidently it _is_ an illegal statement, it lacks "add column" having "null" instead; but what's the culprit and how to fix the problem?
(Note: I've tried to bump up log levels to
log4j.logger.er.extensions.jdbc.ERXJDBCUtilities=TRACE
log4j.logger.er.extensions.migration.ERXMigrationDatabase=TRACE
log4j.logger.er.extensions.migration.ERXMigrationTable=TRACE
log4j.logger.er.extensions.migration.ERXMigrationColumn=TRACE
but no more logs occurred anyway.)
Thanks,
OC
