Add Timestamps helper #19

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
Rip-off from Rails,

table.AddTimeStamps() (or a similar name) to add created_at and an updated_at 
columns to the 
database.

If it's supported in a DB think about adding the current time to the created_at 
if it's null. Don't know 
if we can automate the updated_at on an update?

what would this be used for? would this get rid of the schemainfo table so that 
each 
table can be looked at individually?

It is just a simple helper method to add Date/Time Columns called 'created_at' 
and
'updated_at' for auditing purposes.

I spent a little time on this thinking it would be pretty easy.  Creating 
columns and
automatically filling created_at are very easy (for sql and mysql, at least). 
updated_at is harder - I wrote some code that generates triggers to do the 
updates,
but it ain't pretty.  And on mysql, the mysql user account needs SUPER 
privileges to
add the trigger.  

I haven't written anything for other providers in as far as automatic updating.
Should be easy as overriding AddTimeStamps, but I don't have the db software to 
test
against.

Attached is a patch for what I have so far.
