[jifty-devel] Regarding refers_to and by on JDBI columns

[Andrew Sterling Hanenkamp]

Yes. The goal is one-to-one record-to-record references.

I'm working on some profile customization code for CAS+ using database
backed models. I was working on the relationship stuff when I discovered
that one-to-one relationships with back-references isn't supported by JDBI.
It seemed like a missing feature to me.

If JDBI doesn't support one-to-one back references, I'll just put them in as
regular subroutines on the generated CAS+ profile classes. I just wanted to
see if I should implement it in JDBI first, then virtual-models, and then
CAS+ or if it was just going into CAS+.
