+//! @short A tool for handling altering database table schema.
+/*! In relational (and other) databases, table schema altering is not an easy task.
+ It may be considered as easy if there is no data that user wants to keep while
+ the table schema is altered. Otherwise, if the table is alredy filled with data,
+ there could be no easy algorithm like:
+ 1. Drop existing table
+ 2. Create new one with altered schema.
+
+ Instead, more complex algorithm is needed. To perform the table schema alteration,
+ a list of well defined atomic operations is used as a "recipe".
+
+ 1. Look at the current data, and:
+ 1.1. analyze what values will be removed (in case of impossible conversion
+ or table field removal);
+ 1.2. analyze what values can be converted (e.g. from numeric types to text), and so on.
+ 2. Optimize the atomic actions knowing that sometimes a compilation of one action
+ and another that's opposite to the first means "do nothing". The optimization
+ is a simulating of actions' execution.
+ For example, when both action A="change field name from 'city' to 'town'"
+ and action B="change field name from 'town' to 'city'" is specified, the compilation
+ of the actions means "change field name from 'city' to 'city'", what is a NULL action.
+ On the other hand, we need to execute all the actions on the destination table
+ in proper order, and not just drop them. For the mentioned example, between actions
+ A and B there can be an action like C="change the type of field 'city' to LongText".
+ If A and B were simply removed, C would become invalid (there is no 'city' field).
+ 3. Ask user whether she agrees with the results of analysis mentioned in 1.
+ 3.2. Additionally, it may be possible to get some hints from the user, as humans usually
+ know more about logic behind the altered table schema than any machine.
+ If the user provided hints about the altering, apply them to the actions list.
+ 4. Create (empty) destination table schema with temporary name, using
+ the information collected so far.
+ 5. Copy the data from the source to destionation table. Convert values,
+ move them between fields, using the information collected.
+ 6. Remove the source table.
+ 7. Rename the destination table to the name previously assigned for the source table.
+
+ Notes:
+ * The actions 4 to 7 should be performed within a database transaction.
+ * [todo] We want to take care about database relationships as well.
+ For example, is a table field is removed, relationships related to this field should
+ be also removed (similar rules as in the Query Designer).
+ * Especially, care about primary keys and uniquess (indices). Recreate them when needed.
+ The problem could be if such analysis may require to fetch the entire table data
+ to the client side. Use "SELECT INTO" statments if possible to avoid such a treat.
+
+ The AlterTableHandler is used in Kexi's Table Designer.
+ Already opened Connection object is needed.
+
+ Use case:
+ \code
+ Connection *conn = ...
+
+ // add some actions (in reality this is performed by tracking user's actions)
+ // Actions 1, 2 will require physical table altering PhysicalAltering
+ // Action 3 will only require changes in kexi__fields
+ // Action 4 will only require changes in extended table schema written in kexi__objectdata
+ AlterTable::ActionList list;
+
+ // 1. rename the "city" field to "town"
+ list << new ChangeFieldPropertyAction("city", "name", "town")
+
+ // 2. change type of "town" field to "LongText"
+ << new ChangeFieldPropertyAction("town", "type", "LongText")
+
+ // 3. set caption of "town" field to "Town"
+ << new ChangeFieldPropertyAction("town", "caption", "Town")
+
+ // 4. set visible decimal places to 4 for "cost" field
+ << new ChangeFieldPropertyAction("cost", "visibleDecimalPlaces", 4)
+
+ AlterTableHandler::execute( *conn );
