Bruno - ActiveRecord in Rails does just this: it allows you to build a model which has all of the attributes of the database table. ---

Can you provide an example or common use case for this framework? It seems like what you want is good old ActiveRecord. Cheers, Thiago A. ---

I think what Bruno wants is a method to automatically build to associations based on relationships in the database. As far as I know, this isn’t possible. ---

I actually have worked on a project to do almost that, generating code to map relational database/table relationships to object oriented/class relationships. I am sorry to say that at least this part of the project didn’t turn out very well. Anyway, I am interested in watching your efforts (and even contributing, shall my free time increase). Do you ultimately plan to build this framework on an open-source fashion (in case you don’t find what you want)? Please let me know of any progress. Thanks, Thiago A.
