You can keep laughing all you want, but I at least could get CakePHP to work with an existing Oracle database lacking primary keys for a backend app involving role permissions, forms, pagination and other usual web stuff, as opposed to designing a new app and database from scratch. I worked around the lack of primary keys using Oracle's ROWID and Cake's $virtualFields. From then on $rowid was as good as a usual field for the purposes of data retrieval and updating. Then I thought I'd rewrite this simple app in Django while learning it at the same time. But Django doesn't really allow me to use such virtual fields easily. Ian gave me a solution to my problem here: http://groups.google.com/group/django-users/browse_thread/thread/77f8353da1bcca53
but it doesn't seem to be what I'm looking for. Maybe someone here has an idea? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
