Re: [forge-dev] [Proposal] Helper methods for managing inverse relationships
Lincoln and I have discussed this on IRC, and whiles this has been deemed a good idea,
we're wondering what everyone else thinks. So, thoughts?
it depends ;)
In principle this is a good idea and I think its a good addition if it is done at the time
you add the relationship and have enough info.
But it has its issues if:
A) the ownership changes (can be fixed by handling on both sides I guess - then it does
not matter which side you call)
B) reverse engineering (i.e. hibernatetools plugin) should have these too somehow - but
here the owning side is a "best-guess" since the database metadata doesn't
really tell you.
