Ecto_mnesia for Ecto 3

Hi,
so I thought I would fix ecto_mnesia up so it would work for Ecto 3. The adapter used to support migrations in the past. Given that Ecto was split up into two packages and I need stuff from there to make the migrations work, I am wondering should the migrations support be dropped, should I add ecto_sql as a dependency or should I copy the needed code from ecto_sql to ecto_mnesia?
So what do you think? Am I just wasting my time or is anyone interested in the adapter? And what about the migrations?
Thanks

You already have Ecto3 support for Mnesia:

https://hexdocs.pm/ecto3_mnesia/Ecto.Adapters.Mnesia.html

Afaik that migrations are not done yet, maybe you want to join efforts with that author?

Well its never wasted, you learned something in the journey for sure.

You can evaluate what its done already here:

And you may want to speak with @pascal to see if both of you can unite synergies?

I am using Memento:

For migrations I am rolling runtime migrations on the fly with versioned schemas. So each time a hit Mnesia to read from schema v1 I will upgrade on the fly to schema v2.

Hi there, with the original author, we’ve brought many updates to this adapter, which now support:

  • multiple primary key
  • relations
  • (to-be-merged) support for foreign keys
  • table creation helpers (migrations like)

Your feedback is welcome !
