Summary
We should now be able to successfully create new database table schemas; how
we add these tables to the database is explained in more detail in the next chapter,
Chapter 4. We can build queries that are ready for use with our specific database
driver using the nameQuote() and Quote() methods. We must remember to
use these two methods; if we do not we run the risk of restricting our queries to
MySQL databases.
We can extend the abstract JTable class adding an extra element to the data access
layer. JTable allows us to perform many common actions on records. Taking
advantage of the JTable class can significantly reduce the overheads incurred while
programming and it ensures that we use standardized methods to perform actions.
Component Design
This chapter explains the concepts behind building Joomla! components and shows
you how to build your own components. Components have two main elements, the
frontend and the backend.
At the heart of Joomla! components lies the MVC (Model-View-Controller)
framework.
