Hi, devs.
I'm working on JCRStore and QueryPlugin and I want to get some feedback about http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Design/XWiki+Query+Language+Specificatio...
just my 2 cents:
1. Why our QueryPlugin's xpath isn't sufficient? (except it doesn't work now and some features are unimplemented :)) 2. Are we sure to use sql-like query language? I think sql isn't user friendly language. Also many features of sql (such as joins) is impossible for JCR.
Fir other side: sql is more user-friendly them xpath.
3. What user query language would you prefer for xwiki?
I prefer something similar to JPA Object query language, according to some (ideal, unexistend) O/R mapping.
I'm not sure we can be compliant with a O/R mapping. Also we probably have some specificities in the Document/Object relationship for which the QL could become complicated unless we use some internal shortcuts in our language specification. I'm for a SQL type languages that is simplified to the maximum based on our entities. Ludovic -- Ludovic Dubost Blog: http://blog.ludovic.org/ XWiki: http://www.xwiki.com Skype: ldubost GTalk: ldubost
