I admit that I tend to stay on the database side of things and a lot of what I do is fix deficiencies in the Drupal model by moving them properly into the database and having Drupal called stored procedures etc.. but I can say that the customers that we deal with
Interesting. I'm doing the same but I haven't touched core to avoid a further burden in maintenance if I've to keep up with security updates. I think it would be enlightening to see where you exploited more advanced DB functions. Even if I suppose you did with one DB in mind it would still be interesting to know which were the features and where you thought they really fit because D7 should support much more DB features. Even if I doubt support for stored procedures is going to find its way into Drupal since the core has to remain DB agnostic and I think providing an abstraction layer to sp is hard some oversight may help to see which are the features that could be more relevant to support... I'm at least thinking to transactions. -- Ivan Sergio Borgonovo http://www.webthatworks.it
