I am making an app (Called DataJunior, nice app, http://www.soapdog.org/blog for info) which uses a mix of DB handlers and Database Query Builder stuff... This application is a mix of substacks, each substack is like an self-contained application dealing with a very specific problem, like for example there's an addressbook like app, there's a team management app... When the substack needed more complex database resources, I wrote my own functions but when it was a simple query I used Database Query Builder (It's a cool thing!).
It was like dream coding, adding complexity only when needed, but I didn't foresaw one problem. The bootstrap problem, like setting it up for the first run on another computer that is not mine. For my hand coded funcs, I made a substack called "DBConf" which is responsible for loading itself on launch time, checking for Database connection parameters, if they are not present (first run) asking for them, saving it, opening the connection. So far so good, I've got a reusable substack that will take care of opening and closing connections to database and will put all the usefull info in a nice global. The problem is, How do I take this parameters (host, username, pass...) to Database Query Builder. See, I can garantee that my funcs will work, but Automatic Queries are strange entities sometimes. Here, everything points to home.soapdog.org, but this will be deployed to an enterprize and hell knows where they will install MySQL, I would not like to build a new version everytime they feel like changing their ips or their servernames.... There must be an undocummented nice way like revHeyChangeAutoQueriesParametersToWhereverMyServerIs or something near this.. :-D
So... anyone here can point me to some frontscript or info? Also, I am thinking about posting in the web a developer journal on this app and making the code available, would people here find this usefull?
