@ Dardo The goal of my post was not to discredit your argument or you as you suggest multiple times (ad hominem argument). I thought you wrote a well thought out argument in favor of using Cake's built in Schema which I stated in my post. I will continue to argue that your provided workflow and associated argument are the essential points in favor of Schema when people are looking for justification about it.
I would, however, suggest you read through the articles that I posted as some of the things you noted in your line-by-line commentary are addressed by people far more qualified to comment than I. When writing about the differences I did due dilligence to understand the benefits of cakePHP's built in Schema tool. I even looked for outside commentary about it and as far as I could tell it is something that has some similarities from practices in the Java world. So far, you are the definitive voice on the subject in the CakePHP world! @ Joel I'm actually going to throw my summary into my blog and do not mind if you put it into your blog as well. It is something that Dardo's post got me thinking about. What started as a quick response turned into something I too wouldn't mind using. I'm thrilled you'd want to use it that way. --- The bottom line is this: If CakePHP's Schema is working for you then it should absolutely be the tool / approach you use. It is worthwhile to mention that if it does not work for you, Joel has created an alternative system that may be a better fit.
