[dtp-dev] Initial Check-in of Discrete Catalog Loaders

[rcernich@xxxxxxxxxx]

Hey all,

I've recently checked in componentized classes which implement catalog
loading functionality.  This is a work in progress (I just needed to get
the code off my HD).

Basically, I'm moving the catalog loading logic from the specialized JDBC*
model classes into discrete classes.  This should allow extenders to reuse
this functionality in their own specialized model classes.  These are also
slightly configurable (built using a strategy pattern) so that extenders
can use them as a base for any specialized implementations (e.g. if they
have extra attributes, customized catalog queries, etc.).

In addition to the existing catalog objects, I've added support for
additional objects (e.g. SPs, UDFs, UDTs, constraints, etc.).

I have yet to integrate this with the existing generic JDBC catalog
objects.  This work will be forthcoming in the next few days.

Regards,
Rob
