Thanks for clarifying. I asked because if you and James thought it was a simple change, I would have looked into attempting it myself. Realistically, I'm months away from even thinking about digging into the Fluent source, so I won't worry about it for now. > In my opinion, if people really want to approach the implementation of their > application with "all I care about is my object model, I don't want to have > to think about persistence" attitude, Like I said, I've come to realize my expectations were somewhat unrealistic... ;-) > maybe they should be looking at an > object oriented database such as db4o <http://www.db4o.com/>. I had considered using an OO DB, but there seemed to be a rough consensus (at least on the Internets) that they had not lived up to their potential, so FNH seemed like a less risky option. > Working with > NHibernate makes persistence easy, but I still have to think about my > relational model and how I want it mapped.

Again, thanks for clarifying - I wasn't sure what your goals for Automapping were. Looks like I need to buckle down and educate myself a bit beyond "knowing just enough to be dangerous" about RDB design.

Consider them raised - if I'm going down a bad road, I certainly don't want to continue. But, like Cliff Vaughn, I'm also having a bit of trouble understanding how to implement a better alternative. -Tom -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Fluent NHibernate" group.
