Wish List - BFS

[Salamander]

When dragging two tables into the query builder that do not have a foreign key constraint between them, have a button that perform a BFS search on the constraints starting from both tables. If a "path" between the two tables is found within N (default 4?) hops, offer a way to load those tables directly into the query builder window.

So, from a user's point of view, I drag the "Company" and the "User" table into the query builder, and click the "connect path" icon. After a few seconds, I get the Company-Company_Department-Department_User_MM-User query and tables loaded into my query builder auto-magically.

Might require local caching of foreign key constraints to be fast.

Nice idea. I have added this to the list of enhancement requests.

The mythical list... any ETA on the tool to make the list public? (poke poke.)

We haven't actually found a tool that is appropriate for this purpose. It may be that the latest version of the Forum software we are using could help us out. We will upgrade the Forum software shortly.

Any word on the form upgrade and feature requests being public?

 

[Marco Kalter]

The forum has been updated, but does not have the necessary functionality. If anybody knows a good web based enhancement request / problem tracking tool, let me know.

Would BugZilla do?

 

[Marco Kalter]

We looked at this, but it did not meet our criteria. I can't remember why.

 

[Salamander]

Let us know what the requirements are, and we'll find something open-source.

(It would make a good break of us telling you our requirements!)

 

[Marco Kalter]

We want a we based system that can be used to submit enhancement requests and problem reports, that is hosted on our Linux web server.

These requests and reports should be queryable and updateable by all users so that they can add information, and people should be able to "vote" for an enhancement request.

We should be able to provide feedback and change the status of a request or report.

For problem reports the user should be able to provide information such as program version, OS version, Oracle Net version, and Oracle Server version.

That's it in a nutshell.

 

[patch]

Steven Feuerstein and I (and some other developers) are using BugMonitor for the registration of our bugs and enhancements while developing Swyg . It is a webbased tool which works really good. I don't know if they sell the software, or just host it (and let you pay for that). But it might be a good option.

Check it out (both sites )

Kindest regards,
Patrick

Thanks, we'll certainly check it out!
