Hello All,
A newbie question. Is there any hints and tricks how to establish
connection between CASE like ERwin and Zope? We plan to develop a
a medical record system based on SQL database so data scheme is
essential. And all business rules will be held in Zope. SQL tables as
I realize should be mapped to ZClasses - if there is an entity
"Patient Personal Data" with columns Name, Gender, Date_of_birth,
Street_address and so on, then ZClasses with appropriate properties
are to be created. At the moment ER model can only be viewed and no
more while working in Zope. Is it the only use of data modelling tools
for Zope development? Or there is some other techniques of such
application development one should be aware of? THX in advance.
