More SQL/Querying examples needed, documentation enhancement request
It appears that Granite does NOT use combined-key constraints in junction tables (many-to-many) It appears that Granite does NOT use or acknowledge foreign-keys at all! (given the SQL examples on https://github.com/amberframework/granite/blob/master/docs/relationships.md)
It's not immediately clear to me what Granite will be flexible on with regards to the results of the SQL it expects to see reflected in a database schema etc.
What column types correspond to which Crystal types? (one reference place would be nice, src code line #'s are FINE)
For example, a Crystal Time type corresponds to which acceptable database column types?
(example: Postgresql timestamptz is ok? or?)
Since an ORM corresponds 1-to-1 with SQL via mapping, it's vital information for the user.
I will suggest some proper real-world SQL examples to save a person days of work only to discover that Granite doesn't like their tables... I would offer some but I'm just using this for the first time and my confusion is the reason for opening what hopefully is seen as a constructive criticism/issue.
Thank you for your coding efforts, I hope to be able to contribute one day...
Improving the Granite docs:
- Clarify which db column types map to which Crystal types
- Clarify complex table relationships that are managed by Granite (many-to-many, etc.)
