RE: Reactor For CF Object Relational Mapping

[Doug Hughes]

Table aliases are planned.    I’m thinking about field aliases.   Doug   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Lantz Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 1:52 PM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: RE: Reactor For CF Object Relational Mapping   Oops! :)   Well, when the creator of the application doesn't know the feature you just mentioned is there... it probably isn't!   Sorry about that.  I forgot how I used it, I suppose.   Michael   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Doug Hughes Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 11:47 AM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: RE: Reactor For CF Object Relational Mapping Does this work already on the object?!  I think it’s only on relationships.   Doug   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Michael Lantz Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 1:43 PM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: RE: Reactor For CF Object Relational Mapping   Just so you are aware, you can use aliases when working with the table/view name, just not the field names.   This can be done in the config xml file by adding the 'alias="newtablename"' to the <object> tag.   Michael   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Tormod Boga Sent: Thursday, February 09, 2006 11:36 AM To: reactor@doughughes.net Subject: Re: Reactor For CF Object Relational Mapping I agree with both of you.. A thing like this would be great. I have previously requested the feature of adding aliases to the table/object names, because I have to deal with tables named tblxxx too.. The code would look alot nicer if the generated objects had discarded the 'tbl' prefix (by giving it an alias). Doing the same thing for columns would be great as well.. At 12:29 09.02.2006 -0600, you wrote: I think this would be great as sometimes I have to use legacy named tables with the 'tbl' prefix.  I also like to name my tables in plural, "users", "orders", but I like to have my objects singular, "user", "order".  I also like to name my columns in the db with an underscore, but my methods are camelCase.  Of course, this probably adds a level of complexity that Doug may not want to attempt.
