Hi,
(sorry, I have been "round the houses" with this query, but am hoping
this is the best place for it)
I'm using a slightly-modified version of SQLPASPlugin with plain PAS to
integrate with a sql database. It's all actually been fairly painless
to get set up, so thanks!
I noticed in the readme the following note:
"Currently SQLPASPlugin is dependent upon PlonePAS for writing
properties back to the SQL datasource. The plan in the future would
be to remove the requirement on PlonePAS."
As I already have this working with only very minor changes to the
current source, is this something I can contribute? The plone-specific
pieces all look easily extracted to a separate package (at the moment I
just commented them out).
I also had need of a few small additional features:
- option to only return properties specified in the mapping, rather
than all properties returned by SQL, and also to filter the list when
updating properties;
- additional data type 'unix_time' converting a seconds-since-1970 int
value into a datetime (and back again when setting);
- exposure of the schema and default values fields within the ZMI;
Is this something that might be of general use?
We also have a need for genericsetup import/export adapters for the
plugin, so may also be able to contribute these if they are useful.
If it sounds useful, then I'll write some tests to cover the changes and
send the patch to ?
Thanks,
Miles
