I have wished for a PHP mapper with a similar vision to Python's incredible SQLalchemy (http://www.sqlalchemy.org/) I'm not very familiar with the PHP offerings, except for Propel, which is used at my job. Besides having to pre-generate the classes from XMl that is derived from the database, my biggest problem with Propel is that it generates pretty horrible SQL a good chunk of the time. It's nowhere near as flexible and powerful as SQLalchemy, but maybe that's because Python's dynamic features are stronger than PHP's (everything is an object that can be passed around, including classes, functions, etc.) Roberto -- http://blog.divisiblebyfour.org/ _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
