Thank you for your ideas, feedback and criticisms. rb and Jeff
Future versions of Carte will not force you to list the column names but will retrieve them from the database. Jeff The model macro produces a map which may then be merged with other model maps so you could define the model in various places. That feels more like an object oriented approach and Carte is not trying to be object oriented. It seems natural in a more bottom-up style to define everything in one place. I like that queries are just data but I also see how they can be a little hard to read. I am considering using a macro for queries that would allow table names to be written as symbols instead of keywords. My main concern is to ensure that queries behave in the same way as the rest of Clojure.
