I've made a few changes to Postmodern. They both try to do a little magic in the case where a table has a single primary key column. The first change allows you to use a DAO-OBJECT directly as a parameter, rather than pulling out the key field. EG:
> (select-dao 'foo (:= 'bar bar)) instead of having to do > (select-dao 'foo (:= 'bar (id bar))) And the second allows the use of a DAO-CLASS name in the :COL-TYPE field of a slot definition. EG: > (defclass bar () ((id :col-type serial)) (:metaclass dao-class)) > (defclass foo () ((bar :col-type (or db-null bar))) (:metaclass dao-class)) instead of > (defclass bar () ((id :col-type serial)) (:metaclass dao-class)) > (defclass foo () ((bar :col-type (or db-null integer))) (:metaclass > dao-class)) These both seem pretty basic, but they mean that you can change the primary key column name or type without having to make changes throughout your code. Also, I see it as a first step toward being able to (eagerly or lazily) auto-populate slots with full objects rather than keys. Does this seem useful, too magical, or already there but I missed it?
