validation

Does datafaucet have any validate functions built-in?

What are you trying to validate?

I know that with the insert functions it <cfqueryparam>'s them.
Course Ike knows best. Just trying to help :)

Before I created DataFaucet I was using the form tools in the onTap
framework to validate user-supplied data. So right now no, the active
record objects don't have anything built-in.

Speaking of which there's still database-driven form validation in the
onTap framework that uses the DataFaucet plugin. But it's not based on
the active-record objects it's just table-to-form.

Did my earlier reply make it to the list?

I started adding some code for a schema exporter to handle migrating db
schema from one database to another (or upgrading a schema to a new
version) the way that DataMgr does and at the same time started working
on a simple validator for the active record objects also. It shouldn't
take long to finish, although it won't be horribly robust, it'll just be
"are these values valid for these columns?" I tend not to perform data
validation unless I'm receiving data from a user, which is why my data
validation tends to be form-centric.

That sounds good. I think the basic validation you mention is good.
After all, we may be creating business/activeRecord objects from
webservice calls where the form tools couldn't be used.

Right. Just not something I've done much of yet. :)
