Hello there, my web app should occassionally import from an external DB (a database created and maintained by another WO-based application). Just import, and only low-level dictionaries at that, never full-fledged EO-objects. Probably though, the imported tables would be rather big, it would be needed to join them (i.e., import also attributes accessible through a relationship), etc.
Having so far no experience with accessing another DB, I wonder. Would I gain anything of importance by sharing the model and using EOF for the import (in which case, due to them joins, I am afraid I would have to go as low as to EOUtilities.rawRowsForSQL anyway), or would you rather, in this special case, skip EOF altogether and go DIY at the JDBC level? (The latter approach would lead to reading in the other app's model anyway, but without using the EOF stack over it, just to manually translate entity and property names to tables/columns, nothing more.)
