[Openinteract-dev] SPOPS progress report

[Vsevolod (S. I. <si...@cs...>]

Hi,

To let you know what I'm doing: I've finished implementing most of the 
new has_many functionality and revamped has_a. Next I will test them on 
my applications, and if I am happy, will offer them for the main tree.

Links_to will pretty much stay unchanged, except for things like deep 
auto-saving, and I would like to test some ideas on a real-world 
application first.

I have also added caching support to fetch_group() in SPOPS:DBI. Well, 
kinda. It's almost impossible to truly avoid calls to the database, as 
we don't know which results will be cached and which won't. I can ask 
for IDs first, and then ask for the data only for those IDs which are 
not cached, but this will severely limit possible SQL commands that can 
be passed to the method. So caching support is there just to keep data 
consistent.

is equivalent to Roosevelt's declaring war on blitzkrieg.
