Thread: [Squirrel-sql-develop] beginner

Hi,

I'm a biginner to Squirrel SQL and I'm willing to study the source code 
of this project. Any suggestion as where to start with?

Many thanks.

Wumo.. Its probably best to just jump in and try to understand the code. For
instance, you can try checking out some base classes and see how they relate
to each other. Check out a small bug, and see if you can at least determine
where its happening, if not how to fix it.

In other words, just do it!

I think I want to try to start building a plugin:

Has anyone put any thought into the best way to create a "Diff Tool" ?

Before I switched from data studio i used this quite a bit;  Basically it
would extract DDL from two hosts into the client side, and then create a
chart displaying objects that have differences/etc.

Lately I've just been trying to script things to extract a bunch of DDL into
a directory, then using vimdiff to look at the differences.  Its not quite
as convienennt but its been getting the job done.

What do you guys think?

Joe,

Yes - I started to write a diff plugin, but never finished. It
provides basic table differences in a JTable dialog and works like the
DBCopy plugin where you select a table to compare using the context
menu (right-click) and then select another table to compare it to in a
different session.  I never completed it and so I didn't include it in
the installer.  There was one other person who expressed interest in
completing it, but I haven't heard from that person in a while and I
don't believe he got very far.  The code is here:

http://squirrel-sql.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/squirrel-sql/sql12/plugins/dbdiff/

Patch submissions are welcomed.
