Trigger `dj.createSchema` from `dj.new`
Closed this issue · 2 comments
Currently when you want to create a new table in a new schema, it is a two steps process: you have to call dj.createSchema
first to create the schema (with appropriate getSchema.m
) and then you can call dj.new
to create a new table in an existing schema. If you try to use dj.new
on a non-existent schema, an error is thrown.
Although having a separate dj.createSchema
makes sense and should be maintained, it will make sense for dj.new
to trigger dj.createSchema
if the user specifies to create a table in a non-existent schema. This will greatly simplify the table creation process.
Currently datajoint-matlab relies on a few interactive wizards that work only interactively without a non-interactive alternative. Perhaps we should ensure that all these wizards also work non-interactively so that scripts could be automated for testing, for example.
