Hi all, as part of another thread I want to extract the following question with a more meaningful subject:
We do have objects (O) which consist of attribues (A) which are stored in a table O with columns A just as DBIC would model it. But we do also have sparse attributes (B) (attributes which are very often NULL) which are not stored as columns of the "base" table O but as rows of a - let's call it attribute table - where each "not null"-attribut B of O is a row in that table with a key consisting of a class identifier, an object identifier (O.id) and an attribute identifier. After loading this object I want to see that object in a flat way. This "attribute collection" shall show up as "normal" (columns) attributes (with accessors named like the attribute identifier). While using the object from the application perspective I don't want to know that there are some attributes stored as columns in the base table and some as entries in a related table. Is there a way in DBIC to do this?
