Hi I would like to find a means of ORM that would allow me to declare a > single model that could handle the basic 5 pieces of common data, but > then also access the extra columns dynamically depending on what table > was specified.

You could look at using dm-reflection to get a list of models based on the current structure of your database. You could mix in a single module into each model if you wanted to share some common behaviour between them. It should be possible to handle this completely dynamically without hard coding any model names or table/column names into the system anywhere. -- Dan -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "DataMapper" group.
