[postmodern-devel] dao functionality

[Marijn Haverbeke]

Hi Roman,

The DAO class -> table definition system is (intentionally) very
limited. The way I use it is for providing the basic table definition,
which I then extend with "create index", "create constraint", etc
commands. If you are not going to use them, there's really no reason
to define DAO classes.

Regards,
Marijn
