RE: #Of Topic

[Decima, Mauro]

If you use a MetaData Mapping, you need to update your metadata file when db Structure change, Nettier regenerate the base class. No magic there,  you can generate part or all the database. - I do not like that nettier generates a class by each table + Support Microsoft Application Blocks (Caching Configuration, DataAccess) + The generated code allows make modifications in any level. + Support Framework 2.0 + part of Visual Studio 2005 IDE via CodeSmith + Support DeepLoad (load the entitydata and all the entities related) + developed by this design http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url="">   I do not mean that it is better or worse than ibatis, it only wanted to share it with you so that they saw other options     Mauro         Just to provide some comments from someone other than the creator of the library J   -          Why generate code that has to be regenerated, recompiled, re-tested, and redeployed upon any database change? -          Code->schema generators lose critical control of the database, and are sensitive in upgrade and other version migration scenarios -          Schema->code generators are similarly problematic -          Why cripple both the class model and the database schema by settling on a lowest-common-denominator 1:1 literal mapping? -          Why generate anything when metadata will do? My developers can own the classes. The DBA team can own the database. The tool can bridge the gap, all without any-gen.     Jeremy Gray   From: Clinton Begin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, April 04, 2006 2:46 PM To: user-cs@ibatis.apache.org Subject: Re: #Of Topic   Ack!  No offense, but this thing sounds like a nightmare.... Generates ready to use Visual Studio projects and solution. Fully integrate with Entreprise Library application blocks architecture. Shipped with it's own plugin, so you can configure your application directly from the entlib configuration console. No thank you....  ;-) Cheers, Clinton On 4/4/06, Decima, Mauro <[EMAIL PROTECTED] > wrote: I have see http://www.nettiers.com. This is a great job     .NetTiers are CodeSmith templates for object-relational mapping that takes an existing SQLServer database and automatically generates a personnalized Data Tiers application block to use in your .Net applications.
