This method fetches metadata for a subset of the entries in the assets
database. This functionality is used in the ForEach calls in the asset
storage providers in AssetInventoryServer. With this implemented,
frontends such as the BrowseFrontend should now work.
- MySQL: implemented, sanity tested
- SQLite: implemented, sanity tested
- MSSQL: implemented, not tested

(currently only used for unit tests, in the next commit)
* This is a HUGE OMG update and will definitely have unknown side effects.. so this is really only for the strong hearted at this point. Regular people should let the dust settle.
* This has been tested to work with most basic functions. However.. make sure you back up 'everything' before using this. It's that big!
* Essentially we're back at square 1 in the testing phase.. so lets identify things that broke.
* Migration should be automatic on sqlite and mysql
* Migration is not automatic on mssql, you will need to drop the invType column manually
* Migration should be fine, but as for any db change, I would recommend making sure you have backups before moving past this revision
Currently module loading is done ad-hoc. I propose creating a simple
loader class that leverages Mono.Addins (and perhaps the new .NET
addins when they become available in mono). Attached is a basic
patch for review that compiles into HEAD, but doesn't yet replace
any existing ad-hoc loaders.
