Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of automation technology, and in particular to database version management methods, apparatus and electronic devices. Background Technology

[0002] Many software programs require databases to run, and the database table structure needs to be designed before development. However, when multiple people collaborate on software development, changes in requirements may lead to modifications to the database table structure by each individual. If communication between developers is not timely, the database table structure used by each developer may not be updated in a timely manner, resulting in a chaotic database table situation in the later stages of iterative development. Therefore, a database version management component is needed to uniformly manage database versions.

[0003] To manage databases, configuration code for database version control components is typically added to the source code (or code) development platform, along with the addition and modification of database script files. However, this approach has the following drawbacks: All software-related source code files are exposed to developers, who are prone to making mistakes when configuring the database version control component and adding / modifying database script files. If these mistakes go undetected, they can easily lead to problems with the entire software source code. Furthermore, software developers need to check whether the database operation statements in the database script files match the business logic, making the software programming work quite cumbersome.

[0040] To enable those skilled in the art to better understand the technical solutions in this application, the technical solutions in the embodiments of this application will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in this application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative effort should fall within the scope of protection of this application.

[0041] This specification provides a database version management method that embeds a database version management component into a graphical software development platform, enabling developers to develop software through a graphical editing interface and automatically manage database versions through the database version management component.

[0042] Figure 1 This diagram illustrates the software list display interface within a software development platform. (For example...) Figure 1 As shown on the left, this software development platform can include modules such as a development workbench, test management, and deployment management. The development workbench can include software development and asset development. Here, "software" refers to a single piece of software. The software development interface can display a list of software projects previously worked on by the developer, such as Software A, Software B, and Software C.

[0043] Figure 2This diagram illustrates the application list display interface under a software application within a software development platform. For example, software A includes applications A1 and A2. Here, an application refers to a sub-function that constitutes the overall functionality of the software. For instance, an application might be used to acquire user input data or to provide data feedback to the user.

[0044] Figure 3 This diagram illustrates a unit within an application on a software development platform. A unit can include a domain model, a page, and a process. The domain model, also known as the business object, is a visual representation of conceptual classes within the domain or objects in the real world. A page refers to the user interface. A process refers to the internal processing flow of the software.

[0045] Figure 4 The diagram illustrates the model designer within the software development platform. The model designer's user interface, also known as the first editing interface, is used to create business objects or modify their parameters.

[0046] Figure 5 The diagram illustrates the UI designer within a software development platform. This UI designer's interface, also known as the second editing interface, is used to design the style of the user interface and to set associated business processes and business objects for various controls on the page.

[0047] Figure 6 The diagram illustrates the process designer within the software development platform. This process designer's interface, also known as the third editing interface, is used to design business operation processes and to set associated business objects and user interaction interfaces for some process nodes.

[0048] Figure 7 The diagram illustrates the operational status of each software in a software operation platform that matches the software development platform. It includes the software number, software name, software version number, running status, update time, and operation controls (such as upgrade and access) for each software.

[0049] Based on the above Figures 1 to 7 This specification provides a database version management method that can be used in software development platforms. The users of the software development platform are the software developers.

[0050] In some embodiments, after developing the target software, the developers can deploy the target software to the application server. After deployment, the software development platform can be used to obtain the running status of the deployed software in real time and upgrade the deployed software as needed.

[0051] In some embodiments, the software development platform has a matching software operation platform, such as... Figure 7The software operation platform shown allows operators to obtain real-time information about deployed software, its operational status, and to upgrade the software as needed.

[0052] It should be noted that the term "software" in this application can refer to software that can perform multiple functions under the same theme, such as Photoshop image processing software, input method software, etc.; or it can refer to a small software program that performs a single function, such as a voting, statistics, leave application, etc.

[0053] like Figure 8 As shown, the method includes the following steps:

[0054] S10: The software development platform displays the first editing interface, which is used to create new target business objects or change the parameters of target business objects; the parameters of the target business objects are associated with the fields of the tables in the database.

[0055] The first editing interface can be like... Figure 4 As shown. In step S10, "business object" refers to the visual representation of business content.

[0056] In the first editing interface, you can create a new target business object or select an existing target business object to modify its parameters.

[0057] When developers create a new target business object, the first editing interface will display a new graphic identifier. The name of this new graphic identifier can be automatically set to match the name of the target business object. If the graphic identifier is renamed and its name differs from the name of the target business object, the name of the target business object can be automatically changed to match the name of the graphic identifier.

[0058] Developers can set various parameters for business objects. For example, such as Figure 4 As shown, based on the graphical identifier of the business object 1, developers can set parameters 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc., and can also add other parameters.

[0059] Each parameter of the business object corresponds to a field in the database table.

[0060] S20: Receives parameters edited by developers in the first editing interface, associates the edited parameters with the target graphic, and uses the target image as a graphical identifier for the target business object; the target graphic is used by developers to associate with a specified location to achieve the programming operation of associating the target business object.

[0061] like Figure 4As shown, after developers set multiple parameters based on the graphic identifier, the software development platform's backend program automatically associates these parameters with the target graphic identifier. This target graphic identifier is the one associated with the parameters during parameter editing.

[0062] When developers implement software programming operations, they can edit the target graphic parameters by "dragging and dropping the graphic identifier to the specified area," which is also the way to edit the target business object parameters.

[0063] "The target graphic is associated with a specified location" means that the identifier of the target graphic is added to a specified area (such as the editing area in the software development platform interface), or the identifier of the target graphic is associated with a specified process node, a specified component of the user interface, etc.

[0064] S30: Obtain software deployment instructions, which are used to instruct developers to deploy the software developed on the software development platform to the target server.

[0065] In some embodiments, developers can issue deployment instructions by clicking the deployment control on the software development platform, or by writing code in the command line. Deployment instructions can also come from other software associated with the software development platform.

[0066] In some embodiments, the target server may be a debug server used for debugging software. Accordingly, a database is associated with the debug server; that is, the debug server stores data in the database and reads and queries data from the database.

[0067] In some embodiments, the target server may be an application server used to serve software users. Accordingly, the database is associated with the application server; that is, the application server stores data in the database and reads and queries data from the database.

[0068] S40: In response to deployment instructions, it converts the developer's operations on the target business object into a database script file, controls the database version management component associated with the software development platform to execute the database script file to update the database, identifies the updated database as the new database version, and records the new database version number.

[0069] In response to deployment instructions, the software development platform will deploy new software created by developers, or modifications to existing software, to the server. Since these new software versions are programmed based on the modified database table structure during development, the database must be updated to the latest version before the new software version takes effect on the server.

[0070] Since the parameters of the target business object are associated with the fields of the database table, operations on the business object, that is, operations on the parameters of the business object (such as adding or changing parameters), will cause changes to the fields of the database table. These database operations need to be converted into database scripts and executed to make the fields of the database table respond accordingly.

[0071] After executing the database script file, the software development platform identifies the updated database as the new version and records its version number. The software development platform or database management component can also record changes to the database script file, allowing developers to review whether these changes are relevant to their development work and whether timely database updates are necessary.

[0072] The database version management method provided in this manual involves editing business objects within a software development platform and setting graphical identifiers for these objects. Developers can then perform programming operations by adding these graphical identifiers to designated locations. This graphical programming approach does not expose the source code files to developers, and the graphical editing results are readily apparent. Therefore, this solution simplifies and facilitates software programming. The software development platform is a graphical programming platform, and the control code for the database version management component is embedded in its backend code. Upon receiving deployment instructions, it automatically converts the developer's operations on the business object parameters into database script files and automatically controls the database version management component to execute these scripts to update the database and record the new database version number. This allows programmers to manage database versions without accessing the source code, ensuring orderly database management and improving communication efficiency among developers collaborating on software development projects.

[0073] In some embodiments, before modifying an existing database through a software development platform, the following steps may be included: obtaining a database retrieval instruction; in response to the database retrieval instruction, obtaining the target version of the database from a database version management component; converting the target version of the database into parameters associated with a graphical identifier of a business object, and displaying the conversion result on a first editing interface.

[0074] The database retrieval command can be given by clicking the "Database Download" control on the software development platform. Clicking the "Database Download" control on the software development platform will download the target version of the database from the database version management component.

[0075] Typically, the target version can be the latest version stored on the database version management component. In some cases, the "Database Download" control can be associated with a database version; in this case, the target version can be the database version associated with the "Database Download" control. For example, if there are three database versions: 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, and the user clicks on version 2.0 and then clicks the "Database Download" control, the 2.0 version database will be downloaded.

[0076] In some embodiments, after obtaining the software deployment instructions, in addition to generating database scripts, updating the database, and storing the new version of the database, a new version of the software can also be stored. Specifically, in response to the deployment instructions, the operations on each editing interface in the software development platform are also converted into target code segments; the target code segments are sent to the software version management component so that the software version management component can use the target code segments to update the associated target software and determine the updated target software as the new version of the target software.

[0077] In some embodiments, before modifying existing target software through a software development platform, the following steps may be included: obtaining a target software acquisition instruction; in response to the target software acquisition instruction, obtaining the target version of the target software from a software version management component; converting the latest version of the target software into a graphic, and displaying the conversion result on the associated interface of the software development platform.

[0078] The command to obtain the target software can be given by clicking the "Software Download" control on the software development platform. Clicking the "Software Download" control on the software development platform will allow you to download the target version of the software from the software version management component.

[0079] Typically, the target version can be the latest version stored on the software version management component. In some cases, the "Software Download" control can be associated with a software version; in this case, the target version can be the software version associated with the "Software Download" control. For example, if there are three software versions: 1.0, 2.0, and 3.0, and the user clicks on version 2.0 and then clicks the "Software Download" control, they can download version 2.0 of the software.

[0080] In some embodiments, the database version management method further includes: a software development platform displaying a second editing interface, the second editing interface being used to edit the business processing flow, the second editing interface including a first area and a second area, wherein the first area includes graphical identifiers of various process nodes, and the second area is the editing area for the business processing flow; receiving a flowchart edited by developers by adding graphical identifiers from the first area to the second area; receiving an operation by developers associating at least one process node in the flowchart with a target business object and / or a target user interface, and using the operation result as the target business processing flow. It can be seen that a flowchart only becomes a business processing flow after it is associated with a business object or a user interface.

[0081] Figure 6 The diagram illustrates the second editing interface. The upper left area displays a list of business processes; clicking on a process allows for its editing. The lower left area is the first region, containing graphical icons for various process nodes, such as process start, process end, and process processing nodes. The area to the right of the graphical icon area is the second region, the editing area for the business process. This area uses the graphical icons on the left to edit the flowchart; for example, icons can be dragged and dropped into the editing area. The right side of the interface is a parameter confirmation area for a process node in the flowchart. Parameters include the business object associated with the node and the user interface. Users can input these parameters in this area. The software development platform receives these parameters and uses the "flowchart associated with the business object and user interface" as the target business process. Alternatively, the parameter confirmation area can be a dialog box that pops up after the user clicks on a process node.

[0082] In some embodiments, the database version management method further includes: a software development platform displaying a third editing interface, the third editing interface being used to edit the user interface of the software, the third editing interface including a third area and a fourth area, wherein the third area includes graphical identifiers of various page elements, and the fourth area is the editing area for the user interface; receiving a page display style edited by a developer based on adding graphical identifiers from the third area to the fourth area; receiving an operation by a developer associating at least one page element in the page display style with a target business object and / or a target business process, and using the operation result as the target user interface. It can be seen that the page display style only becomes a user interface after being associated with a business object or business process.

[0083] Figure 5The diagram illustrates the third editing interface. The upper left area displays a list of user interaction interfaces; clicking on an interface allows for its editing. The lower left area is the first region, containing graphical icons for various page elements, such as forms, buttons, selection controls, and input windows. The area to the right of this graphical icon region is the second region, the editing area for the user interaction interface. This area uses the graphical icons on the left to edit the page display style, for example, by dragging and dropping icons into the editing area. The right side of the interface is a parameter confirmation area for a page element within the page display style. Parameters include the associated business object and business process flow. Users can input these parameters in this area. The software development platform receives these parameters and uses the "page display style associated with the business object and business process flow" as the target user interaction interface. Alternatively, the parameter confirmation area can be a dialog box that pops up after the user clicks on a page element.

[0084] In some embodiments, after the developer has edited and obtained the target business object, target business process, and target user interface, the method further includes: the software development platform organizing the target business object, target business process, and target user interface into a unit, where one unit corresponds to an application in the software; displaying a fourth interface, which displays each unit, as well as the corresponding edit link, upgrade control, deployment control, and version number, so that the developer can enter the edit interface of the target business object, target business process, and target user interface in the target unit after clicking the edit link, upgrade the unit in the software development platform to the latest version after clicking the upgrade control, and deploy the software version in the software development platform to the server after clicking the deployment control. Figure 3 As shown.

[0085] In some embodiments, Figure 3 The application shown is a single piece of software; that is, a single piece of software contains only one application. However, in some embodiments, a single piece of software can include multiple applications. In this case, the software development platform can organize multiple applications into a single unit, with each unit corresponding to a single piece of software. The software development platform can then display a fifth interface to showcase each piece of software, such as... Figure 1 As shown, after clicking on one of the target software programs, the software development platform displays the fourth interface, which shows the various application units under that target software.

[0086] This specification provides a database version management device that can be used to implement... Figure 8 The method shown. (As illustrated) Figure 9As shown, the device includes a first display unit 10, a first receiving unit 20, a first acquisition unit 30, and a first conversion unit 40.
