To the contrary, Allan! I have all the love for adodb schema generation.
I've synced us up with adodb-4.71 specifically to help the postgresql
support efforts, and to support the adodb schema stuff Mike Crowe wanted
to get committed.

Not to put to fine a point on it, but I don't think any of us
(myself included) currently committing to vtigercrm/branches/4.2 know how
the adodb schema generation is to be directed to effect change in the
database.

I wouldn't know what to do if I had a schema change to make. Any of you
guys who know this stuff, please dig in on the 4.2 branch.
