schema.sql file generated from ddlog?

[ajratner]

Is this on the roadmap out of curiosity? Seems like this would be nice and also fairly simple way to centralize the basic DD app in the ddlog file- or is there a way to do this already? Thanks!

#357.

Do we plan to keep the ddlog --> conf --> DD flow in the long term? The translation loses the nicely defined user schema in ddlog even if it does generate the .sql file.

@netj any plan to pass all the structures (schema, rules) in ddlog to DD directly so that DD can more tightly manage the database (e.g., creating / loading / altering user tables directly instead of having the cumbersome .sql file)?

@alldefector Yes, that's certainly where we're headed. We're trying to preserve DDlog's high-level info in a JSON format to do various operations. @feiranwang has already made some progress on the creating/altering parts in #376 and we'll try to expose more operations to give complete control to the user.
