My table already has a type column of char(1). Currently these types are 'm' and 's', yes lowercase. Since I can't modify the tables I play along and create a class:
class M < Spot include DataMapper::Resource property :type, Discriminator, :field => 'Type', :key => true, :writer => :private, :default => 'm' property :identifier, String, :length => 32, :field => 'Identifier', :key => true end When I save a record, the :type property's config maintains the convention of lowercase type name. But when I try to retrieve records DM looks for an uppercase value of 'M' in the type column. I've looked into modifying the Query created by DM::Resource at several points but there appears to be no minimally invasive way to do this. Even so, I'm not familiar with the framework and code and would be worried that I might break something with my modification(s). Any ideas? As a side note It would be great if I didn't have to use a class named M or S, though I can easily delegate to them through classes with descriptive names if there's no solution. I originally set this up with AR and CPK, but ran into several CPK bugs so I had to abandon ship. DM seems promising if I can get around this issue.
