Actually it's the word "database" that's that's throwing me, admin is totally cool :) Unless I'm missing the whole point, and I doubt that I am, you guys are writing code to generate "scaffold" views and controllers for projects' declared models and models are an abstraction on top of databases. For a given nice, consistent model interface, someone should be able to swap out databases and even replace the underlying data model with something else altogether (although if your models rely on introspection of your db to determine their attributes, that last part goes out the window). Don't get me wrong. I have really high hopes for you guys as we, at my company, are getting ready to port our fairly large php4 (sic) app to python and, knowing that our software lead is really looking for some instant forms for our data to alleviate having to write sql for random devhelp requests and reports and the fact that I really want to push pylons (you could say that after the last week I've spent looking at the docs and code I'm diggin' it...), once you're done you may be getting some immediate feedback from the commercial sector (again, hopefully). You're not writing a database adminstration piece, you're writing a data administration piece aimed at a layer above databases. -- Erik Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "pylons-discuss" group.
