Hi,
I'd want to start using a new system for this project and I was looking for some tools to achieve my goals. Those would be:
- Data represented under only one form ( only the database schema, or the database itself or whatever)
- Possibility to easily generate and update other data representations (ex: SQL code & forms from DB schema)
- I don't want to use ( in full ) any framework. I'm OK with using a part of a framework ( such as Zend Framework From module for example) but I wouldn't want to start using a framework for the moment.
After some googleing I kinda liked Doctrine for database representation and maybe the From module from the Zend Framework ( although I don't really like this Form class, I think it's too bloated). I also considered a combination of Doctrine and some template engine such as Smarty or Twig.
So I just wanted to know what do you think are the best tools for the job and the best approach?
Thanks,
