It does work on WAMP. That’s actually where a lot of the development has been (XAMPP and WAMP on Windows). Two of us use Windows/XAMPP/Netbeans and two of us use LAMP/VIM for development.

Regarding any errors and updates in general. I’m working on a new version that uses the propel-gen code (minus Phing and/or Creole) in the background to generate the classes. The interface for generating the classes will still be browser based, but I figured it’s best to use what I can from other libraries. The new version includes code for creating MVC (Model-View-Controller) applications. My goal is to be able to release a MVC and non-MVC version with all of the updates this week.

Fatal error: Uncaught exception ‘PDOException’ with message ‘SQLSTATE[HY000]: General error: 2014 Cannot execute queries while other unbuffered queries are active.

Any ideas as to what causes this? thanks

Thanks.

An exception is being throw when mapDB tries to build your schema. If you change the following:

catch(Exception $e){
throw new Exception(“Unable to read database.”);
}

…to

catch(Exception $e){
throw($e);
}

…you’ll have some more useful information. If you think there is still a problem, please email or post the actual exception.

Your situation does happen from time to time. At some point I will make DABL more clever and build multiple methods for the foreign keys that don’t conflict. In the meantime, you can write your own methods for each column, such as $book->getReviewer() and $book->getAuther() with your own custom code. What I will eventually add is something more generic such as $book->getUserByAuthorID() and $book->getUserByReviewerID(), if AuthorID and ReviewerID were the columns in the Book table. That is what Propel does.

There is not yet a way to do a bulk update using the table classes. Typically with ORMs you want to work with each row as an object, which means looping through your objects and changing them. If you are dealing with such high amounts of data that loops and multiple database calls isn’t practical, then you can use the MyTable::getConnection() method to get the php PDO object and build your own update query. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any suggestions on ways to improve this.
