[fdo-internals] RFC15 posted

[Orest Halustchak]

Hi Maksim,

I principle, the idea looks good, but I agree with Frank in terms of the amount of detail that is needed.

One thing to consider is that the dictionary may be persisted in another class (e.g. another table in an rdbms). What about having this type of constraint reference a dictionary via another class rather than a list maintained just with the property that uses it? That way the dictionary could be referenced by more than one property and will allow more flexibility in defining and maintaining the dictionary?

Thanks,
Orest.

Maksim,

While I'm supportive of the general concept, I am not able to judge how
appropriate the approach is for FDO.

But, I do think that before we could go to a vote, the RFC would require
more exactness in terms of what is proposed - including a precise C++
definition of the proposed interfaces.

I think you also need to address backward compatability issues (if any)
and who will implement the proposed new feature.

Best regards,
