Introduction:

adodb-xmlschema is a class that allows the user to quickly and easily build a database on any 
ADOdb-supported platform using a simple XML format.

This library is dual-licensed under a BSD-style license and under the GNU LESSER PUBLIC LICENSE.
See the LICENSE file for more information.

Features:

  * Darned easy to install 
  * Quickly to create schemas that build on any platform supported by ADODB.

Notes:

See the INSTALL file for installation notes.
See docs/index.html for documentation, including installation, use, and tutorials.

New for this release:

	20031001 Snapshot
	- upgradeSchema() now drops and recreates any indexes that exist in the schema file.
	- It is now possible to drop a table or index by inserting a <DROP/> tag:
	
		<table name="oldtable"><DROP/></table> or
		<index name="oldindex"><DROP/></index>
		
	20030924 Snapshot
	- The upgrade code actually works. To upgrade an existing database to the provided
		schema, call the upgradeSchema method after creating the adoSchema object:
		
		$schema = new adoSchema( 'dbname' );
		$schema->upgradeSchema();
		
		The "upgrade" and "forceReplace" arguments in the adoSchema call have been
		deprecated in favor of the new upgradeSchema method.
		
		The upgrade code has not yet been thoroughly tested, so use it at your own risk
		and kindly report the bugs!

Thanks:

Thanks to John Lim for giving us ADODB, and for the hard work that keeps it on top of things. 
And particulary for the datadict code that made xmlschema possible.
And to Mike Benoit (http://phpgacl.sourceforge.net) for a recent patch or two and some good ideas.
And to the kind folks at PHP Documentor. Cool tool.
And to Linus. I thought the end of Amiga was the end of computing. Guess I was wrong :-)
