[Opendnssec-develop] DB version management tool: deltasql

Hello,

We have had to change the DB scheme on occasion, and more changes are probably
going to come with the new Enforcer.  We're now piling up such changes to a
pivotal point such as a major version change, but I ran into an alternative.

Has anyone ever used the tool "deltasql"?  It looks very useful for keeping
versions of DB schemes up to date with the software that runs it:

http://deltasql.org/

In short, it'd mean:

 * Entering all DB structure changing statements into deltasql
 * Offering such structure changes for download from a server
 * Installers contact the server for locally needed structure updates
 * Manual users can do the same through a web-interface to that server

I don't know if it'll pay itself back, but I thought I'd mention it.


Cheers,
 -Rick
