Hi all,
I'd like to build a clojure api to a mysql database. Have done this
previously using ruby's ActiveRecord which makes this very easy. clj-
record apparently provides the same kind of functionality.
The clj-record README shows how to create an interface to a table
(let's say "employees") with:
(ns our-warehouse.employee
(:require clj-record.boot))
(def db ...a clojure.contrib.sql db-spec...)
(clj-record.core/init-model)
As you see, the connection to the database is made within a namespace
that is specific to one particular table. Is there an idiomatic way
to:
- create the connection first (namespace would be for *database*
rather than *table*, so "our-warehouse* in the example above instead
of "our-warehouse.employee")
- create and initialize all the clj-record functions within that
namespace?
As there are a lot of tables (but the code for connecting to each very
short): is it possible to do all those definitions in the same file?
Or am I thinking too much using my ruby background? A small ruby
example for 2 classes:
ActiveRecord::Base.establish_connection(
:adapter => "mysql",
:host => "localhost",
:username => "myuser",
:password => "mypass",
:database => "somedatabase"
)
class Employee < ActiveRecord::Base
belongs_to :company
end
class Company < ActiveRecord::Base
has_many :employees
end
Any help/direction appreciated.
Thanks,
jan.
