Hello all, I am considering using Webware (specifically MiddleKit, for the time being) for an application I am working on to manage farm records. I'd like to use MiddleKit (or something like it) so that I can move the application very quickly between platforms (its first incarnation will be for Windows, but Linux and the Web are potential targets as well). But I have a couple of questions...
First, are there any major performance or other issues with using MiddleKit's object-oriented data approach versus directly accessing the data with SQL and a db module? I've never used an ORM, so I am quite in the dark as to its relative merits performance-wise. Also, how difficult is it to write a database adapter for MiddleKit? I'd like to be able to serialize my data to Access and MS SQL Server databases. I'd be more than willing to work on writing such adapters should I choose to use Middle Kit. And how closely tied is MiddleKit's core to the SQL-way of thinking? Would it be very difficult to write an adapter that stores its data in a 'non-traditional' database like MetaKit? And one final question - is anything being done to (optionally) take advantage of some of the more bleeding-edge Python features (specifically iterators and properties)?
