That said, I was very disappointed after I bought WebObjects 5.0. It
was my fault for not finding out more about the product. I thought
for THAT much money it was a complete solution in a box, and it must
be good if it's from Apple. However, no database table
creation/edit/manage module was included!
Huh!? EOModeler support defining entities, attributes, and
relationships. Then you can ask EOModeler to build a database schema
in your chosen database. This capability depends on whether database
creation is supported by the database-specific WO JDBC plug-in, but it
is for the WO JDBC plug-ins included with WO.
I was now on my own to figure out if I should go with OpenBase,
PostgreSQL, MySQL, or whatever.
Most people consider that to be an advantage. WO is
database-independent. Besides, you can use one of the public domain
databases with WO at no extra cost.
Did I say I was disappointed? I was really bummed!! I ass-umed that
I was getting a slick user-friendly, intuitive, revolutionary COMPLETE
web-database development solution. Oh well. I'm a doofass. :-(
You must not have taken the time to learn what WO includes. Most WO
developers seem to feel that there are few Web-database development
suites that are as sophisticated as WO. But it can be overkill for
simple Web sites.
You may be better off keeping your money, and just learn MySQL, PHP,
Perl, and Unix shell scripting. That's my 2 kopeks.
Now you're talking about some slick user-friendly, intuitive,
revolutionary COMPLETE web-database development solutions :-)
Aloha,
