Forum OpenACS Development: Response to A query writing tool.

Posted by Tom Jackson on

I will look at these other tools. If the rapid-development package is available, can you mail it to me? Or drop a note when it shows up in cvs. My Package Builder was started as a way to generate the package-name-create.sql file. Usually this file contains the data model, acs_object creation and acs_attribute creation code, and the oracle/pg package code. Each user of the Package Builder can create an 'ACS Package'. This is the container for metadata, acs objects, acs attributes and pl functions. What I need to add it the pl Function Builder.

The Function Builder should work using the already entered metadata, from multiple tables, but allow the user to specify the order of the parameters, add/remove declared variables, add to/edit the fuction body. I'm not sure if all of this is easy/possible to integrate into one delivered file. It might be easier to have it create parts and pieces that would be assembled into the final file by hand.
