The new ALTER TABLE facility allows to act on tables found in the MySQL
database before the migration happens. In this patch the only provided
actions are RENAME TO and SET SCHEMA, which fixes#224.
In order to be able to provide the same option for MS SQL users, we will
have to make it work at the SCHEMA level (ALTER SCHEMA ... RENAME TO
...) and modify the internal schema-struct so that the schema slot of
our table instances are a schema instance rather than its name.
Lacking MS SQL test database and instance, the facility is not yet
provided for that source type.
Given the slashdot effect and some bad luck, the binary artefacts of the
3.2.0 release are not currently available, and anyway contain known bugs
that have been fixed meanwhile thanks to early adopters who did open
issues on github.
So we hastily publish the current master's branch version as a github
release with binary files.
Turns out that debian has mawk by default, which is not behaving the
same in our very simple use case already. In passing, add gawk as a
build dependency of the debian package, because the packaging is meant
to exercize the test cases.
This packaging requires all pgloader dependencies to be available as a
debian package within the distribution, which is an work-in-progress
happening concurrently to this patch.
The current situation allows to actually build the pgloader package the
proper way already, some more needs to happen before anybody can do that
from a public debian repository.
