Re: Framework for existing database and complicated joins Click to flag this post

My idea: You can encapsulate complex writes by modifing your function
save() of models you create and you can encapsulate complex reads by
creating SQL VIEWS.
Other than that: 100 tables? for what? Clean database design based on
an ERD does NOT depend on applications running ORM-Layers or in MVC-
Style.
