VWNC 7.2.1: Store: Bug in SQLBroker
While working on Store for Sybase I accidentally unmasked a latent bug in
SQLBroker class>>createDatabaseTableColumnsFor:keyNames:

The incorrect code is:

aStream nextPutAll:  ', '; cr].
aKeyCollection isEmpty
ifTrue:
[aStream skip: -2.
aStream nextPut: $ .].

The correct code is:

aStream nextPutAll:  ', '; cr].
aKeyCollection isEmpty
ifTrue:
[aStream skip: -3.
aStream nextPut: $ .].

This is latent because every current Store table has at least one key, so th
e
incorrect code is never executed.

At one time during development I defined a table with no keys.  The trailing
comma didn't get overwritten and PostgreSQL 7.3.2 coughed up a parse error o
n
the CREATE TABLE.  (Sybase 11.9.2 wasn't bothered by the trailing comma.)
