1 1. What is the Sequence Updater |
|
2 ------------------------------- |
|
3 |
|
4 The Sequence updater is written to synchronize your PowerAdmin/DNS database |
|
5 after you have manually inserted records into it. |
|
6 |
|
7 2. Why do I need that? |
|
8 ------------------------------- |
|
9 |
|
10 Because PowerAdmin uses the php-PEAR::DB library it is using sequence numbers. |
|
11 A sequence number simply tells the application what will be the next ID |
|
12 for insertion. Some of the mysql users are now shouting auto_increment. |
|
13 Yes auto_increment, but we cant use this here because we plan to use |
|
14 PostGreSQL or Other db's that dont have auto_increment so we are stuck to |
|
15 using sequence numbers. |
|
16 |
|
17 3. What does this mean? |
|
18 ------------------------------- |
|
19 |
|
20 This means that if you dont run this tool after you have been manually adding |
|
21 records, your database might be corrupted and PowerAdmin might be kicking |
|
22 you back with a lot of errors. |
|
23 |
|
24 4. Ok, I got it, now what? |
|
25 ------------------------------- |
|
26 |
|
27 Put this file in your PowerAdmin directory. Login into PowerAdmin using the normal |
|
28 system. Now go to the url where you put it and done, the sequence numbers are |
|
29 updated. |
|

|
31 5. Future versions |
|
32 ------------------------------- |
|
33 |
|
34 In all versions higher than 1.1.2 this function will be automatically there for |
|
35 administrators. |
