Using the Propel ORM

A one day course introducing the Propel Object Relational Mapping framework

Propel is an Object-Relational Mapping (ORM) framework for PHP5. It allows you to access your database using a set of objects, providing a simple API for storing and retrieving data. 

It removes the need for SQL for most tasks, and can result in cleaner, more readable code.


This workshop will cover:
  • Defining a database with a schema.xml file
  • Generating a schema file from an existing database
  • Accessing data: basic retreival
  • Accessing data: more complex queries using Criteria
  • Updating and deleting data
  • Performance considerations
