Hi Everyone, I am brand new to reactor, but loving the idea. If I could persist objects in an object database like db4o (http://www.db4o.com) I would do so, but Reactor for CF seems to be the next viable alternative... And thank you for all your hard work. My questions are two-fold: 1. I am VERY used to putting many functions on the database tier. For example, using views to pare down what people can see/do, or for complex joins that are best handled by MSSQL and passed out as a simple recordset. This has had the net effect of making my apps more efficient. Can someone outline how and where Views and SPs fit in with the use of Reactor? Am I going to have to give up some of the functions that make the db tier more efficient? You can create custom methods on any gateway or record object to optimize a call. The downside is you reintroduce database specific dependancies. 2. Looking for a general definition of reactor - is it simply an ORM framework, and nothing more? Does it carry essentially the same purpose/mission statement as, say, Hibernate? Does it suffer similar performance issues? It is more than a simple tool for automating the creation of CRUD and other persistence objects. Consequently it carries similar performance overhead. The largest impact to performance for me has been the object creation. If you minimize that the benefits can out weigh the negatives. Thanks!
