dataobject

Hi Alan, just wanted to let you know that I ported DataObject to MDB2 in a few hours while sitting in a farm house in switzerland :-) The current code can be found here: www.backendmedia.com/MDB2/MDB2_DataObject.zip Dunno if its possible to fit this into your plans regarding a DO ext. Anyways here are a few notes I made along the way: - numrows is expensive in combination with unbuffered queries - use MDB2 quote method for all datatypes (only use type constants internally - they seem very useful for complex types like "email" and should probably be integrated into MDB2 itself for internal use) - use MDB2::singleton and db_index to manage MDB2 objects - use MDB2 internal debugging capabilities - can we model raiseError after MDB2's raiseError() - can we get rid of extends PEAR in MDB2 (loosing expect() error) by a custom raiseError() - insert/update/delete should return affected rows - use MDB2 manager (reverse) to read database infos - integrate xml schema format (possibly use a custom parser) - MDB2 emulates database for oracle with users - sequenceKey() seems overly complex - we need file_exists($foo, $use_include_path) !!! - how are indexes handled? how are multi column primary keys? - instead of the generator allow custom serializer and custom fields in the manager - use templates with generator? - MDB2 has float type support - MDB2 quote converts php null to sql NULL - MDB2 has all the methods needed to create tables - MDB2 has replace() support - add support to accept existing MDB2 objects regards, Lukas Smith smith@backendmedia.com _______________________________ BackendMedia www.backendmedia.com berlin@backendmedia.com Linn Zwoch Smith GbR Pariser Str. 44 D-10707 Berlin Tel +49 30 83 22 50 00 Fax +49 30 83 22 50 07
