update to newer versions of persistent
olafklinke opened this issue · 0 comments
Are there plans for adjusting persistent-odbc to newer persistent
versions? persistent-odbc-0.2.1.1 has dependency persistent < 2.11. The persistent package has moved past 2.11 quite a few iterations.
DBName
is used in multiple places in persistent-odbc.
Database.Persist.Sql.DBName
was removed in persistent-2.12 it seems.
lts-17.2 is the last stackage snapshot with a pre-2.12 version of persistent.
Building against persistent-2.11.0.2 we run into at least two
problems:
- The type of
Database.Persist.Sql.mkColumns
has changed, Database.Persist.Sql.Column
has one additional constructor.
mkColumns
recently requires BackendSpecificOverrides
which can be
patched by giving emptyBackendSpecificOverrides
as additional argument.
Column
got the additional cGenerated
field as fifth argument and the
last field cReference
changed type from Maybe (DBName,DBName)
to
Maybe ColumnReference
which in turn contains a crTableName
field.
That solves the problems in Database.Persist.MigrateMySQL
but for
MigratePostgres
the code is more complicated.
I used the compiler errors to start migrating persistent-odbc to
peristent-2.11 but at some point I am stuck because I don't know the
semantics.
