ORM: More configuration options

[Jeffrey04]

I am quite happy with the ability to set primary_key in ORM. However, I am building a system that needs to work with existing drupal database which doesn't follow the preferred convention. (like you have a table named 'users', 'role', as well as 'users_roles'). I am sorry if I sound very annoying but I really like an ORM library in Codeigniter named IgnitedRecord? ( http://www.assembla.com/wiki/show/IgnitedRecord ). It allows the developer to define relationship in a very detailed way that includes foreign key name, table name, model name etc.

I have to override existing foreign_key() everytime I need to define relationship between two tables at the moment. Is that possible to have the ORM to allow custom foreign key config?

No, it would break the conventions. You can extend the ORM class itself if you want to use a different convention, or define it per-model.
