I thank you all for your comments.<br><br>My original intent was to create _simple_ insert, update and select statements from model descriptions. Skipping relation and reference descriptions, no complex joins etc. <br><br>
The frameworks suggested are quite robust, and complex, which, being at quite an early stage of learning just about everything (Smalltalk, Seaside, Magritteetc), I am trying to avoid - the complexity that is. It has been a good exercise in delving into the mechanics of Magritte though, so I continue to learn. <br>
<br>GREAT code btw, just a lot to grok. <br><br>Also, it would appear that Magritte-ROE requires that Postgresql be _running_ when the package is installed as it failed when trying to connect up a Socket to port 5432.<br>
<br>Thanks again<br>Warm regards<br>John<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Feb 22, 2009 at 1:13 PM, Lukas Renggli <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:renggli@gmail.com">renggli@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">
<div class="Ih2E3d">&gt; p.s. Roe is something I never understood<br>
<br>
</div>If you know the Smalltalk Collection hierarchy you know ROE.<br>
<br>
ROE provides an interface to be able to filter, collect and iterate<br>
over relational tables exactly the same way as Smalltalk collections.<br>
Magritte-ROE mixes this excellent query interface with basic<br>
meta-described object-relational mapping.<br>
