Re: [development] Data-driven database tables and updates

function modulename_schema() {

$tables['event']['#charset'] = 'utf8';

$tables['event']['nid'] = array( '#type' => DB_INT, '#dispwidth' => 10, '#signed' => FALSE, '#null' => FALSE, '#default' => '0');

$tables['event']['event_start'] = array(...);

...;

return $tables; }

Adrian Roussow is working on something like this already. This will make the schema more portable across PostgreSQL and MySQL and other databases. Check the previous discussion here http://lists.drupal.org/pipermail/development/2006-May/015962.html
