Hi.
Just getting around to implement the first user auth stuff, and as usual I am
going along with MySQL. I know, I know, please no DB flame wars :-)
As most of the docs are based on SqLite and Cat/MySQL docs are a little bit
sketchy, I am unsure if my Schema requires the manual addition of the
many_to_many relationship, or if this is just a requirement for SqLite.
That shows probably that I still haven't grasped Models and Schemas fully, but
so be it.
My Schema has the three usual auth tables: users, roles, user_roles. The
latter one stores the relation with foreign keys, I am using InnoDB tables
which support those.
User.pm has the 'has_many' sub, Role.pm has the 'has_many' sub, UsersRole.pm
has two subs 'belongs_to', all automagically from the Schema::Loader. Anything
else required?
TIA,
Ekki
