FTN-Database To Do

General

Move code repository information and the distribution archive information from the README file to elsewhere. POD in main module? website and/or wiki?

The use of special characters like periods in table names is a more general issue where it is not a good idea to use them at all. Redo the comments in scripts and modules regarding that, to generalize it. (Derive function to validate it and add th at to the FTN::Database module?)

Investigate the usage of SQL::Statement. Possibly at least use it for testing?

Once the non database table related code in FTN::Database::Nodelist and FTN::Database::Nodelist is properly separated out, make ftn-database and ftndb into being separate distributions, creating a new branch 'ftn-database' in the git respository to track FTN::Database.

FTN::Database

Move the code in FTN::Database to FTNDB::Admin. Retain the FTN::Database namespace itself for information about the module.

FTN::Database::Nodelist

Move the code in FTN::Database::Nodelist to FTNDB::Nodelist. Keep the separate namespace FTN::Database::Nodelist itself, since it already exists, for just the definition of a nodelist table. Perhaps change that to be a function that returns the SQL code to define the table, instead of being code that does the creation of it.

FTN:Database::Echolist

Create an FTN Database module for echolists which: Defines an Echolist table, default name "Echolist"? Basic table would consist of (at least) the following fields: name, description, source.
