Nothing stops you from connecting to the database however you’d like. I can’t quite imagine what scenario a user would enter the full connection dictionary or how an app would then connect to a database that is somehow ‘unknown’ or introduced by the user, so maybe it’s just hard for folks to get an idea of why this would exist in the first place?
I'd elaborate on your goals rather than your chosen course of action because I don’t think it’s easy to imagine for folks to help you. > On Jun 28, 2020, at 11:51 AM, Don Lindsay via Webobjects-dev > <webobjects-dev@lists.apple.com> wrote: > > Sorry if I was not clear in my first email. > > I don’t want to create a EOModel file.
