The libraries that made Source Control for Oracle awesome!
Making Source Control for Oracle
- We avoided writing new code whenever a library was available
- We preferred free or open-source libraries
- Which allowed us to build a new product from scratch super fast
GOLD Parser and BSN
- It took over a year to do scripts folder support in SQL Compare using Antlr and we didn't have that long
- We used GOLD to parse the oracle documentation and output an auto-generated grammar and c# classes
- Used BSN attributes to remove glue code
Ookii.dialogs
- Exposes Vista style folder browse dialog
- Easy to use - same interface as FolderBrowserDialog
using (VistaFolderBrowserDialog browseDialog = new VistaFolderBrowserDialog())
{ if (browseDialog.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK) { m_Path.Text = browseDialog.SelectedPath; } }
