Time for action – Creating our SPOD class


First, let's create a very simple SPOD class representing our blog posts.

   public var title : String;

CREATE TABLE  'Post' (
'id' INT NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
'title' TEXT NOT NULL,
'body' LONGTEXT NOT NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (  'id' )
) ENGINE = MYISAM;

INSERT INTO  'expressCafe'.'Post' (
'id' ,
'title' ,
'body'
)
VALUES (
NULL ,  'First Post',  'Hi, this is the first post of this blog!'
