I'm speaking of frameworks that do a lot of the work for you, which Rails seems to. 1) Tracking every change and view made to or of a record. The record doesn't necessarily come from one table. 2) Any odd mix of SQL and stored procedures. Which is how 1 was implemented. No I didn't implement, no I couldn't change it, and no I don't I don't want to remember anymore. 3) Restricting CRUD functionality by record, or part of record. Again where a record is not one table. 4) Anywhere one page updates more then one table. My personal favorite: Mapping a UseCase object, Actor object and the 0+ Diagrams on which they can be viewed. UseCase can refer to one and only one actor, while and actor can have 1 or more uscases. This is not a parent child relationship, but a peer relationship. Any Actor/UseCase can appear on more then one diagram. Diagrams, just to really muck things up , inherit from Artifact. A project has 1 or more Artifacts, and there is a whole heirarchy of Artifacts that a project might have. > > As an asside, are you familiar with Zope's ObjectPublishing? > > http://zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZDG/current/ObjectPublishing.stx > > Cheers > > -- > PA, onnay equitursay > http://alt.textdrive.com/ > > > --------------------------------------------------------------------- > To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > > -- James A Barrows --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
