Yeah, it is not straight-forward at all. You need to always know where you are
getting your data from. If it is session based, you just set this up when the
session is created which simplified things somewhat. These EOF stacks need to
be strictly isolated, so getting a few of Foos across multiple slaves is just
not possible in terms of a single fetch. You can fetch on each slave and then
mash them together in an array, but the objects in the array will not all share
the same EC. Personally, I’d run away.

I think you can make it work, but it is going to need a database connection for
each slave. And there can’t be relationships between slaves or between the
master and the slave. And it is going to be susceptible to “bad assumption”
errors in Wonder (I think that version of EOF is OK).
What you would need to do is to create a new EOModelGroup for each slave and
copy (not a reference, a brand new object) the models into it, adding the
schema to the table names. That avoids the need to tweak the SQL. They you
need to create a new EOObjectStoreCoordinator for each of these groups.
EOObjectStoreCoordinators don’t co-operate so the duplicate GID should be OK.
Then make sure that your code uses the correct EOObjectStoreCoordinator to
create EOEditingContexts in.
I *think* that will work, I have never tried it. Using the
EOSharedEditingContext with objects in the slave tables is going to challenging
as a lot of code is going to assume that there is only one, not per
EOObjectStoreCoordinator. I’d avoid the EOSharedEditingContext. The other
place where you may run into problems is notifications that are not scoped to
the EOObjectStoreCoordinator.
But all in all, this is not really what EOF is meant for. With EOF you would
use a different data model for this sort of multi-tenant solution.
Does all of this require “deep” knowledge at the application level of what’s
going on in the database? To get it set up, as you describe above, obviously it
does, but then beyond that, say André wants a particular Foo object—does he
need to know where to ask for it from? Or say he wants all Foo objects—doesn’t
he now need to go ask for all Foos from each stack? I got the impression from
the original post that he wanted a kind of merged view over all these tables,
which presumably just isn’t possible.
