Re: [Monetdb-developers] DBD::monetdb: DBI registration

I guess we never told you that we all agree this is a very good idea. We have similar plans with the jdbc and php/pear-db interfaces. So go ahead.
O.k., FYI, I registered the 'monetdb_' prefix within DBI:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/dbi/2005-08/msg00102.html
As soon as Tim commits this patch, you'll see it here:
http://svn.perl.org/viewcvs/modules/dbi/trunk/DBI.pm?view=log
Further on, I proposed DBD::monetdb for inclusion in the Module List
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/modules/2005-08/msg00695.html
Usually, this takes time. (Somebody of the module list maintainers has to acknowledge the proposal.)
Certainly, DBI users expect to find a DBI driver on CPAN:
http://search.cpan.org/modlist/Database_Interfaces/DBD
Do you have any objections that I upload snapshots of DBD::monetdb to CPAN? Such a package will be generated as follows:
cd MonetDB/src/mapi/clients/perl/DBD Makefile.PL make dist
I'm aware that currently, with its MapiLib dependency, the package isn't very useful on its own - the user needs a MonetDB client anyway. That's not nice, but nothing out of the ordinary (and it may be changed).

I have no objections. Do we need to include some information into our web site?

There are plans to make Mapi (and all other clients) a seperate CVS repository and likely with its own development cycle and release plan.

O.k., we have a CPAN release:
http://search.cpan.org/dist/DBD-monetdb/
and an announcement thereof:
http://www.xray.mpe.mpg.de/mailing-lists/dbi/2005-08/msg00211.html
It would be nice if you could add a link at
http://monetdb.cwi.nl/TechDocs/APIs/DBIPerl/index.html
to the distribution page above or to the module documentation:
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBD%3A%3Amonetdb
(or both).

This is really great. I added the links. Could you have a look if the page looks okay. Any updates/improvements on the MonetDB webpages are also very much appreciated.

Looks good! IMO, the local download link:
http://monetdb.cwi.nl/monet/src/mapi/clients/perl/DBD/monetdb.pm
isn't very useful. I'd rather link into the parent directory:
http://monetdb.cwi.nl/monet/src/mapi/clients/perl/DBD/
or drop the link altogether. Further, I'd provide a link for DBI (in the 2nd sentence):
http://search.cpan.org/perldoc?DBI

How firm are these plans? I ask because a moved module loses CVS history - thus it may be better if I delay the new MonetDB-CLI-* perl modules somewhat.

I have some large commit in the pipeline as well, so I'd like to know this as well, so I can modify the current JDBC structure at the same time that the repository moves over.

We would prefer to make this change before the upcoming release (end oktober). Unfortunately we are very busy with Xupdate and changes are very big it will not happen before the freeze (which should be here in about 2 to 3 weeks). So this split will probably be top of the list for the next release, ie the cvs repos split right after the release. After this we will have a lot of different cvs repos, making it harder for someone to start using monet. So we probably at jet another which should contain code for retrieving the proper cvs repos and configuring these to.

Well, in this case, I'll add the directories
MonetDB-CLI (MonetDB Call Level Interface) MonetDB-CLI-MapiLib (MonetDB::CLI implementation, using MapiLib) MonetDB-CLI-* (more MonetDB::CLI implementations)
in
MonetDB/src/mapi/clients/perl/
O.k.?
