+1 I am in favour of changing the default to True.

Dabo keeps track of the status of a record through the use of various internal flags. When you add/edit/delete records through the framework, those flags are updated. When you add records by appendDataSet(), though, those flags were not touched; the data was simply added to the cursor's records. Jacek added the option of having these flags updated, but left the defaults to False so as not to change the existing behavior of the methods. However, having looked over this, I think that we have two use cases: when working with a cursor object directly, or when working with bizobjs. In the former case, I think that the current behavior is correct: if you are working at that level, you should control things directly. However, when working with bizobjs, I think that the default should be to update the internals, since you are expecting bizobj-like behavior, which insulates the developer from the data layer underpinnings. Any objection to changing the default for updateInternals in the bizobj method signature to True? -- Ed Leafe --- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts --- multipart/alternative text/plain (text body -- kept) text/html --- _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: Dabo-users@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users Searchable Archives: http://leafe.com/archives/search/dabo-users This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/1318431112.57071.yahoomail...@web160510.mail.bf1.yahoo.com
