Are there still plans to develop a db package?

@dawhum Is there a reason you don't use ndb?

from endpoints-proto-datastore.

@dhermes The application was created before ndb was introduced. Given ndb's backwards incompatibility with db, we don't have budget for, and it's difficult to justify, major refactoring of the application.

You can talk to the same data with both db and ndb, so you won't need to rewrite your other code to be able to use this library.

If you want to create EndpointsModel classes for interacting with your data it's virtually the same, the only real difference being that ndb caches both in memory and in memcache. You can turn both of these off on the class by simple saying:

from google.appengine.ext import ndb
from endpoints_proto_datastore.ndb import EndpointsModel

class MyModel(EndpointsModel):
    _use_cache = False
    _use_memcache = False
    my_prop = ndb.StringProperty(required=True)

@dhermes Thank you. It makes sense. However, we have a number of extensive models, so all in all, it'd still take a substantial rewrite (or maintaining complex duplicate models).

from endpoints-proto-datastore.

Yes it seems difficult, unfortunately, this library won't be supporting db.

I'm happy to continue the conversation to help you figure out how it can work for you in its current state.

Thank you, @dhermes. I'll think about it and let you know. In the meantime, do you think it would make sense to remove the accepted tag from this given it's no longer expected to be implemented?

from endpoints-proto-datastore.

For sure! Thanks for pointing that out.
