Building without boss_db

[Martin Torhage]

Are there any plans to support building and running boss without boss_db? I solved a few build errors but I have no idea if I'm close to succeed or doomed to fail.

Thanks,

Martin

I made some further progress. Make it build is easy (just a few small changes required) but then there are a few references to boss_news which is part of boss_db. I will probably just comment that code out in my own fork. I'll post the complete how-to here if I succeeds.

why do you need this?

[mar...@campanja.com]

boss_db has many dependencies that would be nice to get rid of.

I found out that boss_compiler is part of boss_db and not part of boss, so I gave up on this. If I just comment out the dependencies in boss_db's rebar.config that I don't need (ddb, epgsql, medici, mongodb, mysql, riakc, tiny_pq, uuid), then boss_db will pull in only a few more dependencies than boss.

Should boss_compiler be moved to boss?

Hi! I want to remove boss_db too. Because when i want to save something to mysql, I should

get_db_id(Id) ->

    [_ModuleName, DbIdStr] = string:tokens(Id, "-"),

    erlang:list_to_integer(DbIdStr).

And when i select the data from mysql, I should

get_boss_id(Id) when is_integer(Id) ->

    lists:concat(["account-", Id]).

There is also a situation, When i change a_table to 10 sharding: a_table_1, a_table_2, a_table_3....

Should i create ten models like a_table_1.erl, a_table_2.erl, a_table_3.erl ...?
