Hands-on with Remodel: A New Python ODM for RethinkDB
- StavrosK 12y agoRethinkDB keeps looking better and better. That aside, I have recently been convinced of the huge advantages of a strict schema on your data. It's just very very useful to know that your data will be a specific type when loaded. In cases where we didn't enforce that (e.g. allowing nulls when we shouldn't have, or using a JSON blob), it came back to bite us in the ass.
- dmritard96 12y agoNice, I have been holding off on using rethinkdb for my web apps until there was a nice odm, i'll certainly give it a look although I must admit that postgres has been pretty great for us.
- robbiep 12y agoI don't know much about databases and which way to best do things but in the past 6 months I have been building lots of things in flask and do it's a problem I'm increasingly becoming acquainted with. I wonder: -is it useful to not have a defined data structure? I would k it makes it slightly more verbose when you are trying to update elements to have to refer to the key value pair rather than just the foot notation style -does this mean that you don't need to redefine a data structure/model if you add additional elements? -apart from what looks looks an elegant syntactical structure for data queries, are there any specific advantages to this approach? Thanks for your help in increasing my understanding
