Dear all, Over the last few weeks I, with the help of HE and others on #debian-buildd, have been developing a PostgreSQL schema[1] for wanna build[2]. The intent is to replace the existing setup of multiple MLDBM databases with an extensible and flexible relational database for use both by wanna-build and other tools such as web CGI scripts. The schema has been based upon the needs of the current wanna-build code, but is rather different to the old hash db being inspired in part from the projectb schema used by dak, but is geared to the needs of the buildds rather than managing the archive.
Compared with MLDBM: - There is just one database, rather than one per arch - Tracking of users is not hacked in - Logging of database operations is built in - A full history is kept, rather than just current and last state change. - The whole database is intended to have full relational integrity and should be in 3NF. We would be grateful for any comments you might have, particularly if you have used the existing wanna-build and can see any defects, omissions, or any suggestions for anything we missed or could implement in a more optimal fashion. If you are a PostgreSQL guru, a review of the PL/pgSQL and PL/Perl functions and triggers used for custom constraint checking would be much appreciated. An ER diagram for the schema is attached, with the code available at [1].
