Creating the model

I chose to create this simple model by hand. The code seen below is amazingly short. It is enough to handle CRUD-operations for all objects. It also does some magic middle table for the many-to-many relation between Action and Tag (I haven’t tested this yet though).

I am a big fan of testing. A unit test coverage below 70% gives me the creeps. But in this case, what should I test? I trust generated code. If I would have done this with Hibernate or iBatis, I would have written a bunch of test cases for it, simply because I don’t trust the amount of code and configurations lying around. But in this case it feels unnecessary to write any tests for the model. This saves a lot of time. Time will show if this was a wise thing to do.

model.py:

from sqlobject import *
from datetime import datetime
from turbogears.database import PackageHub
from turbogears.identity.soprovider import 
      TG_User, TG_Group, TG_Permission
hub = PackageHub("turbogtd")
__connection__ = hub

class Project(SQLObject):
    title = UnicodeCol(notNone=True)
    notes = UnicodeCol()
    actions = MultipleJoin("Action")

class Action(SQLObject):
    title = UnicodeCol(notNone=True)
    notes = UnicodeCol()
    project = ForeignKey("Project")
    context = ForeignKey("Context")
    tags = RelatedJoin("Tag")

class Tag(SQLObject):
    title = UnicodeCol(notNone=True, alternateID=True)
    actions = RelatedJoin("Action")

class Context(SQLObject):
    title = UnicodeCol(notNone=True, alternateID=True)
