This is what I would like to support, although I doubt it works at this point. Give it a shot with the latest code in SVN and see what happens. > Why am I so impressed on autoload is that one does not have to repeat > the schema at both the database and the code. The DRY principle, > basically. Well, if you define the schema in your code, this doesn't violoate the DRY principle, because you no longer have to maintain a bunch of SQL schema scripts (one for each database you support!) since the code can generate these for you. Really, when you think about it, defining the schema in the code is more adherent to DRY than autoloading, since instead of having 1 DDL script for every database you support, you just have it stated in code one time ;) > I could not find out (after some heavy searches!) how to put this > message in the existing thread.
