As a single developer on a single application running different environments I find it tedious to have to duplicate my database changes everytime, whether they are permanent or not. When working with a group of developers and all of use making changes to the database schema it becomes even more hectic as to what was [...]

This morning I’ve finally released PHPDbMigrate RC 2.
The changes to this utility include:
all migration functions work in MySQL
mysql and mysqli database adapters supported
You can find the code here: http://code.google.com/p/phpdbmigrate/
I’ve still got work to do in support other database types and updating the wiki.

So it’s been a couple of months since I posted last. I’ve really been heads down on coding at both work and home. Things are starting to lighten up in both areas and I’m ready to start a new project, PHPDbMigrate.
At work I’ve been setting up a lot of sites using CodeIgniter. It’s not a [...]

I will profess that I only a month old in CodeIgniter, a framework written in PHP, I’m certainly no stranger to MVC frameworks. My work with CodeIgniter has been download the clients site, do the work and upload to clients site. Unfortunately this also means reconfiguring the app for my dev box, then hopefully remembering [...]

I know it’s been awhile since I’ve made a post; getting ready to launch a major application as well as the paying job. I have felt the blogging itch, especially since I’ve been working exclusively with the CodeIgniter framework. But today a rather exciting email came in.
I want to give a big shout [...]

I’ve released the first stable version of PyMigrate today. This release actually detaches all the database API’s to SqlAlchemy. So you will need SqlAlchemy and the associated eggs for your database per SqlAlchemy.
You can find the downloadable versions here online casinoPyMigrate Downloads and the svn repo backgammon free casino money free craps game [...]

Now that CakePHP 1.2 is a stable version I’ve picked back up on it. When I looked at it as a release candidate, and after they announced RESTFul routing, I specifically looked at the RESTful implementation. I’m looking at it again and find it’s still not there.
Looking at the router.php file for the Router::mapResources :
var [...]

I took a break yesterday afternoon to work on PyMigrate and SqlAlchemy integration. It’s kinda been hit an miss, and standing at a wall now.
I started with the easiest first, drop a table was fairly easy, just get a sqlalchemy.Table instance of the table and issue a drop command. Table drop done!
Next up was rename [...]

I had a rather chilling idea recently, how do you create a Ruby factory that follows the Open-Closed Principle. The open closed principle simply states that your code should be open for extension but not modification. More Here. That means unless it’s a true error or needs modification for a new feature, realistically, don’t modify [...]
