============================
Module Uninstallation Checks
============================

This module extends the functionality of base module, to improve modules
uninstallation process.

It provides an extra view, on module form to display which models (SQL tables)
and which fields (SQL columns) will be dropped, if the selected module is
uninstalled.

Technical Note
==============

This module uses postgreSQL native column like reltuples in pg_class that
provides approximative rows quantity. To have a precise value, please
run first the following code:

.. code-block:: sql

    REINDEX DATABASE my_database_name;

Usage
=====

To use this module, you need to:

#. Go to Settings / Modules / Local Modules
#. Select an installed module
#. Click on the button 'Uninstallation Impact'

Known issues / Roadmap
======================

* In some cases, we want to uninstall a module, but prevent some data deletion.
  This can happen if we want to keep some datas after uninstallation or if the
  data moved into another module after a refactoring.

This module could implement such feature, adding extra feature on wizard lines,
deleting or renaming xml ids.

* For the time being, wizard displays size used for models in database. It
  could be interesting to know the space released by the deletion of a column.

Bug Tracker
===========

Bugs are tracked on `GitHub Issues
<https://github.com/OCA/server-tools/issues>`_. In case of trouble, please
