| 5 | | 20:13 <ryan> and just start getting a cak project going |
|---|
| 6 | | 20:13 <yossarian> sounds good |
|---|
| 7 | | 20:13 <yossarian> i assume that sf-active has like a flat inheritance hierarchy, though? |
|---|
| 8 | | 20:13 <ryan> i mean, we might end up with radically different sql |
|---|
| 9 | | 20:13 <yossarian> personally i was thinking we might want to have a database with inheritance, so we don't have a table for articles, a table for events, a |
|---|
| 10 | | table for XXXX |
|---|
| 11 | | 20:13 <yossarian> instead have one content table |
|---|
| 12 | | 20:14 <yossarian> with a "type" column |
|---|
| 13 | | 20:14 <ryan> interesting... if we can figure that out, lets put that change into the sfa swl |
|---|
| 14 | | 20:14 <yossarian> and do like class Article extends Content |
|---|
| 15 | | 20:14 <ryan> that we'll start with |
|---|
| 16 | | 20:14 <yossarian> and then just re-use the Content table |
|---|
| 17 | | 20:14 <ryan> you mean in the code? |
|---|
| 18 | | 20:14 <yossarian> yeah |
|---|
| 19 | | 20:14 <yossarian> are you familiar with single-table inheritance as it relates to object-relational mapping? |
|---|
| 20 | | 20:14 <ryan> yeah hm. |
|---|
| 21 | | 20:14 <ryan> no, i'm not |
|---|
| 22 | | 20:14 <yossarian> ok |
|---|
| 23 | | 20:14 <ryan> url, or tell me? |
|---|
| 24 | | 20:14 <yossarian> let me do a short explanation |
|---|
| 25 | | 20:14 <yossarian> basically |
|---|
| 26 | | 20:14 <yossarian> forget about the db for the moment |
|---|
| 27 | | 20:14 <yossarian> any app with a decent sized domain model |
|---|
| 28 | | 20:14 <yossarian> generally benefits from inheritance in its model classes |
|---|
| 29 | | 20:14 <yossarian> so if you look here: http://dev.bunke.indymedia.org/wiki/DomainModel |
