ORM

[FSX]

Since the blocking-style API is done it's easier to write top-down code.

Maybe Peewee can be adapted so it uses Momoko.

I'm not sure if it's feasible to adapt or make an ORM for Momoko. Personally I don't like ORMs, because it looks like complex things like joins and relations look even more complex in ORM style. And I probably won't use them if not needed.

I haven't studied how an ORM exactly works, but if it doesn't require an connection and has functions that just generate SQL and return it a client can be made that feeds that SQL into an async query.

Feedback please, if possible. :)

Ok, I won't need an ORM for myself so I won't do this.

I'll study and test it next week. I don't have time this week. :)

I just wondering how do you use momoko? In my view, some sql-generator is necessary, for example, when try to insert a row which has none-options, the hard code sql way will not work.

Very basic featured ORM would still be in need, such as insert,select,update and delete.

Any ideas?

Currently there are no plans to invest in ORM. You can apply Serializer approach - create SQL serialization for you models and then imply momoko.

1. What do you mean by Serializer approach? Auto sql generator functions?
   I cant find more examples which use Momoko except maigfrga
   But the hardcode way to use Momoko is not flexible enough I think.
2. Why there is no plan to invest in ORM? Is ORM not practical or not useful for asynchronous libraries such Momoko?
   In my view, ORM roughly equals sql generator + sql execute + object serialization. Momoko seems lies more in the sql execute part.

[haizaar]

Yes, I'm saying you can write/use independent sql generator and then use momoko to execute it.

I'm using momoko to execute complex two-page long queries to database and stream back the results. I personally don't have a use for ORM, although I don't undervalue it by any means.

I would happily develop ORM for you if I had a free time, but currently I don't and demand for ORM for momoko is rather low.
