Thanks! I've been working on this for a long time. Two years ago a Digital Creations customer demanded proper object-relational mapping. The customer abandoned us for different reasons, but I feel like the root cause was our inability to fulfill that basic requirement. Ever since then I've focused on this. It took 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration, yet inspiration accounted for 99% of the implementation. :-)Shane, AdaptableStorage is insane and beautiful - congratulations :-)
It could fit a possible project we have coming up where a requirement is to store content in an XML format inside MS SQL Server.
It should fit that use quite well, I think.
Do you have a TODO list? Are there any "particularly alpha" parts? I would need to get an idea of the risk I was taking on, but if the list is sufficiently small, I love to help mature and extend the product.I didn't release the alpha until all the gnarly details were dealt with, like moving objects on the filesystem and implementing complex mappers. The only things left to do before calling it a "beta" release are:
- Implement specific mappers for more Zope 2 object types, like DTML methods, BTreeFolders, etc.
- Come up with a good manual cache invalidation scheme. Currently, you can disable the cache (or turn on "volatile" mode, which is really the same thing) and you'll see immediate updates, but you'll lose a lot of performance. There needs to be a way for applications that modify the database to tell Zope about the modification, so Zope can reset its caches.
