In my project I store user-defined databases in MLDBM hashes. I use a separate MLDBM hash to define the structure for each type of object. There are basically two data types, fields and sets. Fields are your basic storage containers and have different attributes. Basically they're analogous to HTML input types. Sets are arrays where each instance contains certain fields in a certain order.
You still store partial data in a SQL database but everything that is user-defined is in the DBMs. -Brian -----Original Message----- From: Perrin Harkins [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, October 19, 2001 10:49 AM To: l.m.orchard; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: Iaido/Iaijutsu (Re: [Templates] Web-site creation and management system) > Does anyone out there remember the project I was working on? Iaido (nee > Iaijutsu)? I mentioned it in this thread, when talking about how hard it is to store user-defined data types in a SQL database. One thing that I thought was especially cool about the design of that project was the use of TT for non-display things like code-generation. > I keep thinking I might want to start over > in Java, but I keep forgetting why I think that... It's more likely to attract commercial interest if it's in Java. Things like user-defined objects are much harder in Java though. > Anyway, any interest? I'd love to see some collaboration between Iaido, OpenInteract, and the stuff others are talking about. I have a few modules I've been promising to polish and release, but after that I might be able to contribute some code. - Perrin _______________________________________________ templates mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.template-toolkit.org/mailman/listinfo/templates
