As I'm debugging the code for the Drupal 6 port of importexportapi I am thinking of ideas for the version 2 rendition of the module. The original version of the module was written before there was a Schema API to use and with the Schema API the module could take on a whole different form. Also, currently the module is written to import/export Drupal tables only based on the modules name, not bad, but this doesn't give any room for external data sources that are not tied to a module enabled by Drupal. Therefore an API for the external data needs to be created.

A thought came to me as I was falling off to sleep yesterday about the dba module. It would be a good place to search for ideas to help control the DB schema. Having to hook_def and hook_db_def_tables by hand when the DB can give us this data isn't good. Sure inter-relationships of the data needs to be setup but this can be stored in a importexportapi table.
