hello! this directory contains a number of example packages which show how dbconfig-common can be used in various situations: - db-test-mysql a simple mysql database application. - db-test-mysql-perl like the above, but instead of using dbconfig-common's native setup code, the information is gathered and passed to a maintainer-provided or upstream-provided script. - db-test-mysql-frontend a "read-only frontend" package. this package prompts for all the pertinent information, but performs no database-modifying actions. - db-test-pgsql like db-test-mysql, but for applications that work with postgres. - db-test-pgsql-migration the same as above, but provided with a "1.9" version that doesn't use dbconfig-common, which illustrates how in the "2.0" version dbconfig-common can migrate previously existing settings. - db-test-multidbtype this package shows how dbconfig-common can be used to configure applications that work with any number of database types supported by dbconfig-common. currently this is only mysql/pgsql, but work is in progress to support others, such as oracle and sqlite. also, you probably see that one of the packages (db-test-mysql) has two versions available. this simply shows how dbconfig-common can support application upgrades that require making modifications to the underlying database. you can build all these packages at once by simply running the provided ./buildpackages.sh script if you're lazy :) enjoy! -- sean finney <seanius@debian.org> Sun, 02 Apr 2006 17:35:03 +0200
