Re: DB_DataObject table prefix?

Alan Knowles, the lead (only dev, actually) for DB_DataObject. Actually, I just thought of one possible solution. You could make your own DO base class which extends DB_DataObject, then alter $this->__table in the constructor. class My_Base_DO extends DB_DataObject { function My_Base_DO() { $this->__table = $GLOBALS['_DB_DATAOBJECT']['CONFIG']['table_prefix'].$this->__table; } } Then extend all your table DOs from that one. This *should* work, althouh you would always have to run the generator on a "base" database without a prefix.
