Thanks for all the feedback everyone. It seems my instincts aren't in the
mainstream here (:-).
Couple questions:
- Do other data access methods that don't return actual data (save and
update) typically return anything?
Usually, my create() methods return the last_insert_id() of the insert.
Update() is usually void.
- It was questioned whether delete belonged in a DAO at all, since it acts
on multiple rows. Nothing further came of that part of the conversation. Any
comments?
Multi-row deletes belong in your gateway pattern.
Along those same lines, where would you put a multi-row update?
Again, in your gateway. Typically, DAOs manipulate single rows and
gateway manipulate multi-row.
