Commit summary for MediaWiki.r111264: adding DBDataObject class after having some people review it and posting on the list. docs can currently be found at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Jeroen_De_Dauw/DBDataObject Hashar's comment: In the long run, It would be ten time easier to reuses an existing ORM such as doctrine or propel (from symphony). I do not think we want that kind of home-brewed ORM : * it adds to our maintenance / code review queue * it is yet another barrier to new developers * it will cause bug * it lacks a design document Finally I am unsure which needs it is intended to fulfill, much less if it is going to be able to fulfill the perceived needs at this time. I would personally bury that somewhere. Start by writing the needs we have, evaluate existing solutions and then '''if and only if''' none of them fit our needs, start writing our own ORM. _______________________________________________ MediaWiki-CodeReview mailing list mediawiki-coderev...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/mediawiki-codereview
