Hi Roman,

The DAO class -> table definition system is (intentionally) very limited. The way I use it is for providing the basic table definition, which I then extend with "create index", "create constraint", etc commands. If you are not going to use them, there's really no reason to define DAO classes.

Hi everybody,

I have decided to use the postmodern library to basically dump and then keep updating a large in memory object database into Postgres. I am coming from the lisp side (my knowledge of rdb is limited).

I am wondering if the dao metaclass would allow me to define a table like the 'enemy' example. In particular is it possible to specify :foreign-key?

I don't intend to keep my objects in memory using dao class. I just want to use it to create tables and then to do inserts and updates.

Should I use S-SQL and sql-compile instead?

Thanks,

Roman
