[SQLObject] Additionnal datas on joins

[G. <fra...@cl...>]

Hi all,

in some cases, there's additionnal datas in relation table. For example, th=
e rank if the relation is ordered, or a lock object for edition...=20

It's very common to see that.

So I'm thinking about how to implement this :

 - one (ugly but usuable) way to do that without modifying SQLObject is to =
describe the join like an entity with 2 foreign keys, and then specifying t=
he additionnal columns as usual.

 - a cleaner way would be to add the columns to the join declaration, and t=
hen attach these columns to the entities retrevied when performing the join.

so, SQLObject guys, what do you think about that ?

ps : I'll upload soon my customized version in the CVS, with support for st=
ring primary key and ordered join. I'll post when ready ;)
