To me this suggests that there should be a way having several different schema in the .schema file with different version numbers.
Yes. I intentionally left this out because I wasn't sure of the best way to do it (or even a necessarily good way). Some options: 1. hook_schema_1(), hook_schema_2(), etc. 2. hook_schema($version = SCHEMA_CURRENT) 3. Optionally encoding a version number with each element of the schema; "this field was added in version 3", "this index was removed in version 4." I kinda like #2 the best, but #1 may make more sense with our current hook_update_N() system. (#3 has the "advantage" that we might be able to automatically update from one version to the next, but it could also be very complicated.) Perhaps hook_schema_N() and hook_update_N() should be tied together in some way so that the new schema and the upgrade path to get to it from the previous one are always specified together. Feel free to make a proposal. :-) Thanks, Barry
