Hello, I am an experienced OOP programmer. I -fortunately- do not use relational technology anymore, so I won't plan get back to write SQL/RDBMS/ORM stuff (I really don't care if the relational math theory + ISO/IEC 9075-1 backs the stack). This could sound like a rare use case for you, but it is not if you use actively other systems (Java, db4o, GemStone, etc) where you can have nested complex designs with navigational access to data, dynamic class definitions, class extensions, etc. Also if you don't ever plan to use an OODBMS, sometimes is desirable to delay the need to hook up a database during development, or ever forever ;)
But I am dissapointed, because after hearing a lot about web2py I still have not found how to work with web2py with an OODBMS (any of them). It seems that web2py is tied to RDBMS (which to me is technology from 1970's but that's another story). Maybe most python devs have experience with flat simple tabular data models, it could also be the case that Python file-orientation promotes more scripting approach than object-technology, and I am not criticizing you but in my case I already have a rich object model (is *NOT* NoSQL) and I am giving web2py a chance. But it seems there is few to none documentation of web2py + OODBMS, i.e. how to use the DAL with a OODMS backend. Is web2py still valid for my use-case? Anyone working with OODBMS and web2py? Thanks, Cheers, Esteban -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
