> DAO --> Call it a day..

Thats great but I still want to know how people are handling DAO/SQL code which 
was my original question. Java has numerous class generators for this purpose 
but I don't see much if anything for coldfusion. In my original post I 
suggested this was due to the ease of CFQuery but I still don't feel this takes 
away from the tedium of writing database access code. It's time consuming and 
boring..

I've gone for a very basic dynamic table access aproach and it saves loads of 
time but feels a bit dirty and reading the various ideas raised about DAO's and 
gateways left feeling somewhat of a noob.

In an earlier post I said I avoided methods like:

getAllActive()
getByOwner( ownerID )
getAllPrecedingDate( date )

in favour of a generic select(condition) method. I say that just because it is 
much easier and faster to hack together because i'm a sole developer. 
Personally I'd rather have DAO classes with loads of methods as mentioned 
above, however.. writing all those tedious methods is a PITA and best done by a 
class generator as mentioned earlier. And it'd be nice if we had 
autocomplete/dropdown listing of methods when accessing a CFC's in dreamweaver 
or other favourite CFMX IDE (eg eclipse). Might already exist.. let me know ;)

thanks folks, 

TiM
