[Koha-zebra] A few ZOOM::Package questions

[Joshua Ferraro]

Hi guys,

Just got a few questions about ZOOM::Package:

In the documentation, the example listed is:

$p->send("createdb");

I'm assuming this is a typo and the actual service
type is just 'create' ... right?

Does Zebra support the 'itemorder' service type? if so, how is it
used?

Will ZOOM support the 'drop' send() method at some point?

What are the case scenerios where the 'commit' method would be
useful?

What is the xmlupdate method? :-)

We're trying to figure out when it would be useful (if ever) to
use recordIdOpaque and/or recordIdName. The only reference to them
I can find is here: http://www.indexdata.dk/zebra/NEWS where it
says:

"Allow Remote insert/delete/replace/update with record, recordIdNumber
(sysno) and/or recordIdOpaque(user supplied record Id). If both
IDs are omitted internal record ID match is assumed (recordId: - in
zebra cfg)."

Could someone provide a couple case scenerios where these would be used?

When would it be useful to populate the databaseName option? Isn't
that already provided by the $conn object? or can we connect to
multiple databases in that object and then specify which one we
want the specific package operation to be performed using that
option?

Finally, no mention is made of the record update 'syntax' option in
the ZOOM documentation. Is it supported? if so, what are the valid
values?

Thanks,
