Detailed Description

This library includes all the required functions used to handle the DB structure (DDL) independently of the underlying RDBMS in use.

This library includes all the required functions used to handle the DB structure (DDL) independently of the underlying RDBMS in use. All the functions rely on the XMLDBDriver classes to be able to generate the correct SQL syntax needed by each DB.

To define any structure to be created we'll use the schema defined by the XMLDB classes, for tables, fields, indexes, keys and other statements instead of direct handling of SQL sentences.

This library should be used, exclusively, by the installation and upgrade process of Moodle.
