Reactor does validation based on the column types in the database. The idea is that the database becomes the system of record for column names / types and the ORM library (Arf! objectBreeze, Transfer, Reactor) automatically adjusts its behavior to match any changes made in the database. Those libraries only use XML (or code) to specify the relationships between tables (which can't always be easily deduced from the database structure). So the XML used for Reactor doesn't need to describe the entire table structure - Reactor gets it from the database - hence there isn't enough information in the XML to generate DDL... -- Sean A Corfield -- http://corfield.org/ Got frameworks?
