Hello to everybody, I'm working on a web enabled business process application using GWT for the user interface. At the moment I'm evaluating the option to run the application on GAE. I expect to have a hundred or so persistent business objects like orders, products, customers, addresses, statistics. The datastore services will have a great impact on development time and user experience.
At the moment I'm a little confused about the functionality offered by Googles datastore implementation. Even very common and simple use cases need some work around. Here I am at the moment: 1. Simple LIKE queries with wildcards are not supported: I worked around this limitation with additional fields, storing some tokens generated from other fields and then search this "token-fields" instead of using wild cards. Ugly and limited, but I will see if this is enough. 2. Case insensitive ordering not supported: I worked around this limitation with additional fields, storing all in upper case. Next on my agenda is to respect the collating sequence used in Germany. For example: N, O, Ö, P. Is their a easy way to do this? Beside a proposal for a solution, I would like to here you opinions about all these and other limitations. Perhaps I do not understand things right at this point.
