@birdy247 I don’t see why not. You could get the Validator instance from the Table class and run it’s methods I would think |

@neon1024 the use case is when each customer has its own database, the schemas are identical for each customer and cake app needs to retrieve data from multiple databases (from identical table of the customer database). Or simply to switch from once customer database to another. Creating new connections is too expensive. |

Can an entity be tested against a validator without patching |

too bad :( |

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? |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:37 |
ricksaccous |
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 |

..amd query support too! :slightly_smiling_face: |

mysql 5.7+ has decent json supprot :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 |

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? |
| # |
Mar 28th 2019, 15:29 |
josbeir |
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 |

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 |
