For instance, sqloop assumes that your table is named the same as your class with an s at the end, which is frequently not true. You can also manage relationships between tables: + + class Cat extends SqloopBase + { + static function setup(){ + Cat::table = 'kittehs'; + Cat::belongs_to_a('Person'); + Cat::has_many_of('LitterBox')->through('kitteh_litterbox'); + } + } + All methods with no arguments can be called without parenthesis. As such, first is actually a method call and can be accessed as either ``->first()`` or ``->first``. Sqloop is written to be used as a library, but is also included as a plugin which is installed by default with *pea*, another of chrisrhoden's projects. *peadmin*, the administrative interface for pea, relies on sqloop.
