7:30 – 3:30 VISIBILITY

• Deployed Dong’s changes to PPM. All went well. I also ran TRUNCATE on the query_logs table and the size of the backup went from 78 megs to 4.5 megs. It was easily 90% SELECT statements. I asked Dong to only log DB access that affects the tables. That should keep things under control and make it more searchable.
• Working on my Java db accessor classes. Decided that I’m going to work on building FLAILS to do this. it’s a good opportunity, and the other objects were just dissimilar to be annoying.
• Took a detour into the javax xml parsing code and it still sucks. Dom4j has moved from dom4j.org to sourceforge. Had a bit of cognitive dissonance for a while at the website.
• Added dom4j utilities from MavenAssist to JavaUtils, and found that we had commented out the part of MaveAssist that puts the deployment urls in the POM. That’s back in and we have a new Maven on the repo.
• Created a SQL table from describeType xml!
