removing Crane

[vindarel]

I'd love to love Crane but it has too many open issues and the author
is busy elsewhere. I couldn't even connect to a DB. Migrations do not
work with sqlite. Users reported errors, they are not versioned.

Mito worked out of the box for me.

But beware, that mito is still very alpha (as advertised by the author). I made the mistake to chose it for a web shop/marketplace platform last year and it was more hassle than benefit.

damn, really ? ok I won't push it then. It seems ok to me so far (*cough* many-to-many relationships). What do you recommend instead ? (to register objects to a db, define relationships, have (versioned) migrations,… ?)

(edit) and what task turned a hassle ?

Disclaimer: I'm not really good in remembering those things. I usually keep that it was troublesome and forget about the details. Anyway.

Memory consumption went up after running the application for a longer period of time, connection management made us some troubles, it was somewhat slow and when an error occurred we had to debug 10+ fukamachi libraries.

I don't have anything special to recommend. I'm now in the write-queries-by-hand camp and doing migrations manually.

I'm unsure about crane. Perhaps it is abandoned and then it should be removed from the list. Nonetheless I think we still should keep mito, but don't promote it as the go to option.

agreed, I'll leave this open a bit in case someone else has more feedback, and I won't merge this PR.

Thanks for the feedback.

Hello!

FWIW i keep a patched repository of crane that works with sqlite3 (limited migration is supported too).

Any help is appreciated! :)
Bye!

Hi @cage2, I only see a log4cl fork in your repositories, where's Crane ? thanks

Sorry! I forgot the repo's URL (it is on NotABug): ^_^; https://notabug.org/cage/crane branch "sqlite". I still hope that my patches eventually will be accepted in the main repository, though. Bye! C.
