Hello all, I don't quite get the models thing in Pyramid at the moment.
I was hopping that if you create a database on a database server you would be able to just make the app connect to the database and get the info from there without having to build a models.py file. I tried using the reflection strategy from SQLAlchemy but it just left me with a bad taste as it's pretty complicated and it's pretty hard to get it working + someone told me that using reflection later (i.e: production) is a bad decision (did not explain but I guess performance or keeping the app safe from attacks?) Now, I found a code generator, generated my models from a Postgresql server and tried to make them work ... but nothing happens and my forms don't get processed. What I don't get is the whole initialize_db thing (why is it needed? what's the role of the whole thing?). Also I don't quite get the working flow: You get a .db file in your folder which has the info from your database ... is this file connecting to the database server when the app server starts? What's the point in having a separate database server anyway if you work two times (build tables on the db server, build tables in the models.py file)? At the moment i'm blocked with not being able to get my forms processed. My project is at https://github.com/rbogdy/project/tree/master/aquameter if anyone can take a look maybe they can spot something. Also if anyone could take the time to explain the "models" flow, I would really really appreciate it.
