[orm-devel] Re: Unified Connection Strings

[Diedrich Vorberg]

Hallo,

there is a version with a unified format for connection strings in the
CVS repository.

the orm.datasource.datasource docstring:

    """
    Return a ORM datasource object constructed from a connection string.

    The connection strings follow the conventions for PostgreSQL DSNs:
    they consist of keyword=value pairs seperated with whitespace.
    Keywords recognized are:

    adapter  - name of the ORM adapter used. Use the name from the
               adapters/ directory.
    db       - name of the database to connect to
    user     - Database username
    password - Password used for authentication
    host     - hostname or IP address of the machine the database
               runs on (note that there might be a difference if you
               use 127.0.0.1 or localhost. The first creating a tcp/ip
               connection, the latter a unix/fifo connection. This is
               true for at leas psql and mysql

    Each of the database backends may define its own keywords. For
    instance PostgreSQL will understand each of the original keywords
    as aliases. Check the documentation!

    Values may not contain spaces.
