Hello flexcoders, following the «Managed Associations» approach, I just encountered a question.
Please assume this: I have a set of entities created in my database, i.e. Employee and Company - to stick with the examples. In contradiction to the examples, assume that they relate in a n-m manner, meaning one company can have any number employees and one employee can have any number of companies. For that, to come up with a good database layout, I'd need to design a corresponding relation in the database - «Employee», «Company» and «EmployeeHasCompany» (the ladder one is the n-m relation - it holds foreign keys to each, employee and company). Let's say all of that is set so far and the application's requirements demand the database level cohesion of data and for that, require the table structure to be like I pointed out. Now here's some random thoughts... How do I model that for use with the Flex Data Services? I know, there's some destination properties (one-to-one, one-to-many, ...) on which basis FDS manages data supply. Isn't that situation not only redundant but also risky to use? I'm thinking of transactions, date consistency and else... And how do I update the EmployeeHasCompany relation with new data? Is it like I need to trust FDS to do the right things? I'm afraid of losing control here. So all in all, I think, my question is how to transfer the database model accordingly to the FDS confuguration? Or maybe I'm just off the track here.
