* This is a HUGE OMG update and will definitely have unknown side effects.. so this is really only for the strong hearted at this point. Regular people should let the dust settle.
* This has been tested to work with most basic functions. However.. make sure you back up 'everything' before using this. It's that big!
* Essentially we're back at square 1 in the testing phase.. so lets identify things that broke.
Many issues with handling connections in MSSQL, have rearchitected to
ensure that connections are always opened and closed in a timely fashion
& disposed of cleanly, and removed unnecessary lock statements. SQL
Server performance seems to have improved considerably as a result,
and various timeout errors seem to have been fixed.
* Migration should be automatic on sqlite and mysql
* Migration is not automatic on mssql, you will need to drop the invType column manually
* Migration should be fine, but as for any db change, I would recommend making sure you have backups before moving past this revision
Currently module loading is done ad-hoc. I propose creating a simple
loader class that leverages Mono.Addins (and perhaps the new .NET
addins when they become available in mono). Attached is a basic
patch for review that compiles into HEAD, but doesn't yet replace
any existing ad-hoc loaders.
