I'm considering rewriting my application (Delphi/Bold) with Eco. I'll be focusing on providing a web based interface for some functionality first. Does anybody tried to use the same db for an app writen with Bold and Eco ? Are there any pitfalls, recommendations ?.
Regards
Alex
PS The Eco Team just made my day when I red about the possibility to import bold models in the new eco5 modeler.

Hi Alex,
I haven't, whilst I wonder if it would be much like manually creating an xml file mapping, I assume there would need to be something special in the case of the auto assigned BOLD_ID.
One of the ECO team will probably be better able to answer this question, I'm sorry.

OK, Scott, I'll take it from here 
It is perfectly possible to run an eco application on top of a bold-generated database. You need to do some configuration on the persistencemapper to instruct ECO to use the "Bold" names for certain columns/tables, and you might need to hand-tweak how certain attributes are mapped to the database (for example booleans were under some conditions mapped as 0 and -1 iirc (for some odd and long ago forgotten reasons)).
the Bold-import (bfd-files) in ECO5 doesn't handle all of the peculiarities in Bold, such as implicit RootClass, implicit rootclass for link-classes, "overrideInAllSubclasses" and a few other special cases. I know one of the fieldtesters of Eco5 have tested and successfully managed to run his new ECO application against his old Bold database.
