Let's be frank, many-to-many relationships can be a bit more fiddly than they should be when working with them in a domain model. This post highlights how using a model first approach and generating the database from the model makes it easy to create many-to-many relationships, be it in SQL Server, Oracle, PostgreSQL, MySQL or most other relational database stores.

In the previous instalment, we saw that F# provided composition operators to allow you to concisely build up anonymous functions without the overhead of lambda syntax. Occasionally, however, a function will be so amazingly useful that you actually want to give it a name so you can use it from more than one place. Part 2 discusses how to achieve this. (more)

Ninja domain properties in Mindscape LightSpeed
published 1009 days, 6 hours, 22 minutes ago posted by traskjdtraskjd 1009 days, 20 hours ago
Wednesday, September 15, 2010 2:59:37 PM GMT Wednesday, September 15, 2010 1:21:40 AM GMT
When you’re modelling a domain, it makes sense to provide properties and methods on your domain objects to encapsulate domain logic. Most modern object relational mappers, including LightSpeed, support rich domain models that expose these additional properties and methods. The trouble with this approach is that it doesn’t play nicely with querying. Users of the domain model need to know which properties and methods are part of the persistence model and which are not. This post talks about how the latest ... (more)
