A cookbook would be nice.
John- Maybe you could do a callout for recipes, and then cull the
best into it ?
Since someone griped about the docs, I'll pipe up...
The info on the unique_key , unique_keys , add_unique_key is lacking
in clarity.
unique_key/s are illustrated only one way with two columns in meta-
>setup
unique_key => [ 'product_id', 'region' ],
its unclear if that is one unique key or two
ie:
create unique key product_id_uidx on table(product_id);
create unique key region_uidx on table(region);
vs
create unique key product_id_region_uidx on
table(product_id,region);
its also unclear if multiple unique keys or multiple column keys are
even possible in rose -- the docs suggest one or the other, not both,
and its cryptic as to which is which
the use_key functionality is a bit confusing too -- "Use the unique
key named KEY to load the object" ... but unique keys don't have
names, they have columns. foreign keys and relationships have user
defined names.
thats my documentation gripe of the week :)
