Re: [Maria-discuss] The future of Dynamic Columns

one point... at the COLUMN_GET() at SELECT part of query mysql protocol, need one specific data type to send to client side this example: SELECT CONCAT('blabla', COLUMN_GET()), COLUMN_GET() 1st column: CONCAT return string, column_get isn't a problem here 2nd column: COLUMN_GET will retur

Re: [Maria-discuss] The future of Dynamic Columns

I'm going to respond to your previous two emails with a generality: It is sometimes better to optimize the software development process than the software's data processing. If this were not true, I would not be using this ORM at all and nobody should. But the converse is also clear: sometimes the

I have one final technical question. It is for my understanding and does not reflect a problem I have as a user. The manual says: > The answer is: SQL is a statically-typed language. The SQL interpreter needs to know the datatypes of all expressions before the query is run (for example, when one

Re: [Maria-discuss] The future of Dynamic Columns

Hi Oleksandr, I'm going to stop bitching about Maria now. My needs are in fact met by the current dyncol functions: - It's not so hard to write methods that generate CREATE_COLUMN() expressions from a general data structure. - COLUMN_JSON() is just fine for all my reading purposes. I see no need

Re: [Maria-discuss] The future of Dynamic Columns

Hi Frederico, You identify three problems. 1. Developers are mostly ignorant of dynamic column or that they can solve this problem. I agree. 2. Maria's interface is not easy. I agree but my opinion has changed during this discussion. There's a limit to what the server can do about this. Also, th

Re: [Maria-discuss] The future of Dynamic Columns

Hi Adam, Yes, application developers encounter that problem a lot. Please read the Motivation section here: https://github.com/tom--/dynamic-ar/blob/master/README.md If that describes the general problem adequately to you, maybe give it a star? Tom From: Adam Scott Date: Wednesday, January
