When I decided to re-write the DNA-Framework, I didn’t know where to start first. I was thinking about creating all the security structure first, but I then realised that mostly the security infrastructure will use the dabatase to store information.
So I first needed to create the DAL.
The DAL must stay : easy to use, coherent (meaning no differences between different DBMS) and with no useless features.
So the first thing to do was to create a generic class encapsulating every aspect that will be generic enough to be DBMS not specific. This class is dna.database.class. It also allowed me to define the behavior and structure of inheriting classes.
Talking about inheritance, for now there are only four classes. MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite 2 and Oracle. Yes this means that the DNA-Framework will have support for all of these systems and probably more when I’ll create an ODBC class ;)
So, briefly, I started the creation of the class system monday and today, the four classes exists and are able to :
- Execute SQL queries (anything)
- Select and browse through results
- Export as SQL or CSV result of a query
- Import from SQL and CSV
- Fetch various states (queries / dbms)
Below is an example of the same code executed on 4 different DBMS.

I’ve reduced frequency of my publications these days, for two reasons.
First, I’m re-writing the DNA-Framework, I don’t know yet what will come out of it, probably something big ;) I’m not sure yet if it will be released as OpenSource framework or not. I’ll decide that when version 1.0 will be ready.
And the other thing is I’m completly rewriting ZdStats with better spam detection and much more realistic filters. Even though I know that my filters are more permissive than google’s, my stats are also much more realistic. Why is that ? Simply because I don’t rely on javascript only, therefore I also count users that come to your website with javascript disabled (or google filtered)

This post is just a remider for thoses who don’t know that yet, but next Sunday, 24th of August, Nolwenn, my wife, is organising a Culinary bloggers meetup in Toulouse.
Of course, not only culinary bloggers are welcome to join us, other bloggers can also come at the picnic :)
It’s taking place at “La prairie des filtres” which is on the border of the Garonne.

As I said yesterday, Something big was prepared for this blog, and here it is, a new design.
This new design doesn’t only include a new layout, but also this brand new logo, a favicon and a real good looking design.
Why did I say something big ? Simply because I didn’t like previous one, in fact I realised that if I had to fall on a blog like the one I had before, i wasn’t sure I would have subscribed as it was nice to look at but hard to read.
My inspiration
First I would like to say that this new design is inspired from one of the most beautifull webdesign to me and also a great source for designers. To me this is a not a copy or a rip, it’s more something like a tribute to SmashingMagazine.
I was also inspired by the wordpress theme Coda, that uses a lot Mootools for effects, such as the one you can see on the right top sidebar.
And finally, I use Oxygen icons for most images you’ll find here. Simply because these are probably the most beautifull icons available for an Operating System environment.
The about section is inspired by what we can see on ProBlogger and introductory text was corrected by my lovely wife.
Final words
I just hope you will enjoy this design as much as I do, and do not hesitate to leave comments about what you think of my new design.
