Yes and no. Listen, web development has changed drastically in the past five years. Five years ago, I would never have dreamed of writing a website without an RDBMS. Today? Many developers never touch an RDBMS -- there are a number of document databases such as Couch and Tokyo out there, many sites communicate via web service calls to internal web services, cloud services, or third-party web services, and still others are using services such as memcached for most frontend code (using write-through caching to update the cache on modifications). Since the initial pre-release (0.1.0), ZF has made a decision *not* to tie the model to RDBMS systems. As such, it makes zero sense to assume that a default web project will utilize a database -- our experience says elsewhise. Don't expect the zf command to start generating this stuff by default soon. That said -- I wouldn't be surprised if we offer Zend_Tool providers that *will* setup that information for you. At that point, it would simply be an additional command: % zf create project foo % cd foo % zf add config database --adapter=mysqli --host=localhost --username=me --password=me Additionally, because of the flexible way in which Zend_Tool is created, you can create your own project profile that would potentially call this as part of "zf create project". So you can have it *your* way if you want -- you'd just need to put a little effort into it. -- Matthew Weier O'Phinney Project Lead | matt...@zend.com Zend Framework | http://framework.zend.com/
