I would think that the schema is a direct map of your database, which will have a connection. So I’d say no, there isn’t. You’d have to create a new connection |

but you can do it at run time |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 16:00 |
ricksaccous |
you still have to create a new connection |

Hi, is there a quick way in cake 3.x to switch to a different database schema without creating a new database connection? |

and conditional validation is not even that bad |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:37 |
ricksaccous |
the only advantage i get from this is not having to write conditional validation |

whatever that's called |

i mean not normalizing, making generic columns |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:31 |
ricksaccous |
this is an unessecary pain |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:31 |
josbeir |
still, if you use it as metadata you wouldn't need those fancy sql functions and mange that stuff by your app |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:31 |
ricksaccous |
honestly after doing it this way i think normalizing in one big table is the way to go |

mysql 5.7+ has decent json supprot :slightly_smiling_face: |

MySQL 5.7 :slightly_smiling_face: |

not sure about maria/mysql |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:30 |
cnizzardini |
you can actually query on it there |
| # |

i think PG has better support for json datatype |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:29 |

Let me check |

Maybe we’re on MySQL, we did change recently |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:29 |

ok |

i am so behind on field types in dbs |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:29 |
ricksaccous |
oh, does that have json fields? |

@neon1024 do you use postegres? |

1 addresses table, put common fields in there as field, put the rest in a json field |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:29 |
neon1024 |
You could also write an address data type and have the address json marshall into objects |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:29 |
cnizzardini |
So I would just use the 2 or 3 char ISO code for storing country since it fits in a char |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:28 |
cnizzardini |
But I am not a fan of high normalization |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:28 |
cnizzardini |
You could normalize the country_id |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:28 |
neon1024 |
Otherwise I’d have gone for a single table with generic columns |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:28 |
cnizzardini |
Honestly I would just do a single address table for all |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:28 |
neon1024 |
Depending on what I needed to do with the addresses, honestly my first thought would be a json column |
