Re: [xwiki-devs] [Nested Spaces] Database Model design and issues

Hi Devs, At http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedSpaces#HDatabaseModel I have started drafting some naive impl for Nested Spaces. I believe Edy has provided some other links with probably more elaborate algorithms that we should study (such as http://www.slideshare.net/billkarwin/models-for-hierarchical-data). In any case I’ve also started a Problem section at http://design.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Proposal/NestedSpaces#HProblems where I’ve listed one item FTM. I’m pasting it here: “ * For ex if you do HQL (or you use an extension that does) like {{code}}where doc.space = 'somespace'{{/code}} and add a parent or child Space for ##somespace## then the query will not return anything anymore since you can have something like ##parent.somespace.child## in the DB in the ##space## column (since we store the full space reference in there for NS). ** Solution 1: Rewrite the queries to use something like {{code}}where doc.space = 'somespace' or doc.space like '%.somespace'{{/code}}. ** Solution 2: Don't modify the ##space## column and add a ##spaceReference## one. This is not perfect in case there are several spaces named ##somespace## ** Solution 3: ?? “

I’d be curious to know what you think about it and if you have ideas. Feel free to list other problems you can see there and your ideas for solving them. Thanks -Vincent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list devs(a)xwiki.org http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
