Change Set 22038 - By Default

May 7, 2007 17:03

A few more bug fixes here, making this set pretty close to what will be SubSonic 2.0.1. I've set up the release on CodePlex, so you can see exactly what's going to be in the list here. No actual release date, I can honestly say that it will be "very soon" by the most liberal definition of the phrase.

I wanted to make note of one change in the way database default values are handled in this change set forward. Rather than attempt to parse the database values and map them to a .NET equivalent (getdate() > DateTime.Now), I've decided to push value setting back to the database by performing "SELECT <defaultSetting>" when an object is instanced. This is change is being made to avoid what would likely be the impossible task of attempting to parse any potential default value. But more importantly, I believe that it's much safer to let the database take care of this task. I, for one, am not prepared to assume that the time, not to mention time zone, on the web server the database are the same.

Well, I'm about to do something I'll probably regret later and install Orcas Beta 1. If I don't make it back alive, let me just point out now that I think Orcas was a crummy name choice, considering there is already a Microsoft utility called Orca (used for modifying MSI files) that can be used in conjunction with Visual Studio. So there.

I just added a comment to the oraceldataprovider issues thread about a minor change that is needed.
