Case study: MediaWiki DB in Wikiwhirl
Platform-dependent concepts
Refs to domain model

Solution Synchronize the generated code with platform
Using adapters at runtime

CodeINSERT INTO categorylinks (cl_from, cl_to, cl_sortkey, cl_timestamp, cl_type, cl_sortkey_prefix, cl_collation) VALUES (@pageId, ‘Softwareproject’, ‘House_Testing’, (DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), ‘%Y%m%d%k%i%s’), ‘page’, ‘’, ‘0’);
print("INSERT into categorylinks (cl_from, cl_to, cl_sortkey, cl_timestamp) VALUES (@pageId, '" + categoryTitle + "','" + pageTitle)

Process: Differences between platforms: DB schema
15
Process: Schema Modification Operators (SMO)
SMO % of usage
Change type
Adaptation
Create table 8.9 NBC New comment in the transformation on the existence of this table in the new version
Drop table 3.3 BRC Delete statement associated to the table
Rename table 1.1 BRC Update name
Copy table 2.2 NBC (None)
Add column 38.7 NBC/ BRC
For insert statements: if the attribute is Not Null, add the new column in the statement with a default value (from the DB if there is available or according to the type if there is not)
Drop column 26.4 BRC Delete the column and the value in the statement
Rename column 16 BRC Update name
Copy column 0.4 BRC Like add column case
Move column 1.5 BRC Like drop column + add column cases
16
Process: Adaptation Plaform-specific, schema-independent Replace all “println” instructions with “printSQL” Import “printSQL” library ZQL extension For each printSQL invocation:
Iterate over the changes reported in the Difference model Checks if any of the changes impacts the current statement. Needed information to adapt the statement is retrieved and
added to a list of parameters: the statement, affected table, column, …
A function that adapts the statement is called and new statement is printed.

Dump changes from code to transformation
Assist manual propagation Record generation with change to be done and where (line and column
in the transformation)
M2T transformation
M2T transformation’HOT
print(“select * from …”) printSQL(“select * from …”, line, column)
RECORD:#Added columns cl_type, cl_sortkey_prefix and cl_collation#transformation line: 12, column: 11INSERT INTO categorylinks (cl_from, cl_to, cl_sortkey, cl_timestamp, cl_type, cl_sortkey_prefix, cl_collation) VALUES (@pageId, ‘Softwareproject’, ‘House_Testing’, (DATE_FORMAT(CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(), ‘%Y%m%d%k%i%s’), ‘page’, ‘’, ‘0’);

Conclusions Mechanism to adapt code generated by M2T transformations
to platform evolution Apply in a specific case study Premises: platform instability and transformation coupling

Issues and future work Generalization: other platforms Methodology for adapter development

Process: Adaptation
1- Iterate over the changes reported in the Difference model
2- check that the deleted column's table corresponds with the table name of the statement
3- the statement, the table name and the removed column are added to a list of parameters
4- outputs an SQL statement without the removed column, using a function with the list of parameters that modifies the expression
