Yeah, Auto-Mapping hasn't received a lot of love in recent years. I have plans to totally revamp it, but I just never seem to get the time to do the actual work. As for hard-coded visitors. Yes they are driven by SQL, but that doesn't mean you need to write the SQL yourself, or implement the visitors manually. Use the tools! :-) Lazarus's Data Desktop (I think that's the name) can generate complete units of code with SQL for you. I also ported and updated a old tiOPF tool called tiSQLEditor. With tiSQLEditor, it can generate vast amounts of tiOPF code for you, based on simple SQL statements. For the remainder, I use the power of Code Templates in my IDE. I've produced some 30-40 fully working hard coded visitors in 15 minutes - that's a lot of mostly auto generated code. So "hard-coded visitors" doesn't always equal "hard work"! ;-) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
