PTDB v1.1

PTDB v1.1

Whether you are new to PTDB or a current user, this update is a must.

Why?

Minor Update 1

New Features

• New type for columns: Bool, Arrays of Ints, Floats, Bools, and Strings
• New attributes: DATE, DEFAULT
• New method for changing or setting the filename in the Database Object.

Other Updates

• The attribute 'file' from the Database Object now defaults to None instead of an empty string.
• If there are NULL columns with no items, it now sets them as None instead of a string 'NONE', that also applies for columns with no attributes
• The code has been cleaned
• Error Handling for better understanding
• Bugs fixed
• Performance Upgrades

Future

For PTDB version 2, aside from all the new features it will include, the code will be COMPLETELY cleaned, in the sense that it will be written in accordance with the PEP documents. A few changes in the code are to be expected, such as:

• The name of Global Functions, Objects, Methods and Attributes.
• The way some methods work, like the way arguments are passed; Instead of lists, tuples, etc.
• The currently called 'file' attribute in the Database Object will be inaccessible, instead, it will be set or changed only through its method.
• The Ptdb Object will be replaced by a Dictionary.

PTDB v1.0.1

PTDB first update

Updates

• Fixes a bug that causes a FileNotFound error when trying to save or modify a database with no filename
• Fixes a bug that stopped empty attributes defined as '[]' to be checked properly.
• This is some what a 'new' feature, but I will leave it as a bug because it was mean't to do this from the beginning and I forgot to readd it; Fixed a bug in the parsing that didn't let the column type define the value type in the Ptdb Object.
• Fixes a bug that would cause an error when checking for an item in a column different than 'STRING'
• Other small bugs fixed.
• Extra: Added better source code documentation.
