Actually I was not thinking about merging directoris or sucking data our of
another LDAP directory, but classic schema changes. Imagine each unit in your
organization had its own IT people:
Organization
|
------------
| |
Sales R+D
| |
IT_A IT_B
Now we decide it will be in everyone''s interest to have a central IT
unit
instead of departamental IT teams:
Organization
|
-----------------------------
| | |
Sales R+D IT
It would be nice to achive such a schema manipulation with migrations. Of
course, we would need to define how to overcome name clashes, re-assignments
of people, etc (the classic problems of these kind of reorganization).
This needs not to be a Rails-only feature. I think any Ruby application might
need such a feature.
