ActiveFacts inquiry   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #212 of 237 |
Hi Devs,
Thanks for all the work that has gone into making Active Facts possible.
As well as thanks for making it freely available.

I'm not a Object-Relationship-Model expert, more an end-user. In fact
I found my way here by looking for ORM's in Ruby. So I'm familiar
with Og (having developed a little for it), DataMapper and Sequel.
I'm less familar with DRYSql (though you can read an exchange I had
with the author on his blog), and have never used AR.

DataMapper and Og differ from AR and DRYSql in that they start with
the Ruby class and try to map that to a DB. Og does this with a
decorated class definition that otherwise behaves as a normal Ruby class.

With that background it won't surpise you that I'm curios about the
state of, or intentions of 'translating' Ruby classes to DB's using
ActiveFacts?

From reading the tutorial and looking at the example/administration.rb
I'm wondering if the (decorated) Ruby-class -> AF-Model isn't the
preferred route?

Regards
Mark
