It used to be that our casting rules mechanism would allow for matching
unsigned data types only, and we sometimes have a need to do special
behavior on signed data types.
In particular, a signed bigint(20) in MySQL has the same values range as a
PostgreSQL bigint, so we don't need to target a numeric in that case. It's
only when the bigint is unsigned that we need to target a numeric.
In passing update some of the default casting rules documentation to match
the code.
Fix#982.
This allows creating tables in any target tablespace rather than the default
one, and is supported for the various sources having support for the ALTER
TABLE clause already.
We have a lot of new features to document. This is a first patch about that,
some more work is to be done. That said, it's better than nothing already.
The MySQL connection string parameter for SSL usage is useSSL, so map an
option name to our expected values for sslmode in database connection
strings.
See #748.
The option "fields optionally enclosed by" was missing a way to easily
specify a single quote as the quoting character. Add '\'' to the existing
solution '0x27' which isn't as friendly.
See #705.
The website is moving to pgloader.org and readthedocs.io is going to be
integrated. Let's see what happens. The docs build fine locally with the
sphinx tools and the docs/Makefile.
Having separate files for the documentation should help ease the maintenance
and add new topics, such as support for Common Lisp Hackers level docs,
which are currently missing.
