Better SCM integration

  1. Hello,

    I was curious if there were plans for tighter SCM integration.

    I really would love the ability to hook into the MyDBR execute function so that the user and object could be passed either to the OS or to another procedure.

    If hooked into another procedure, then that procedure could make an OS call dumping the source of the object and the email address of the MyDBR user, allowing an SCM commit to be created. For MySQL this would require a separate UDF and performing the commit on the MySQL server which is not ideal for us.

    Otherwise, if it were an OS-level hook, then a shell script could be created doing the same as well on the MyDBR server which is much cleaner.

    mydbr_sync is okay, but it's missing the ability to fire incrementally as each change occurs.

    A huge plus would be asking for a commit message on execute as well.

    Many thanks,
    Trevor

    You would want the server side to handle commits to SCM? What would be the benefit and how would you like to invoke a call? Would you commit single reports or how would you like it to work?

    For now mydbr_sync is the way to go if you want to store reports to SCM. It works quite well even on large installations and does not require user to remember any changes he may have done.
