Zend Framework ORM 风格的表数据网关与扩展 Zend_Db_Table_Abstract

Personally, I have not had much experience with this pattern and I keep hearing this should most likely be used instead of the old way.

快速入门中的一个简短示例:

老方法:

class Default_Model_Guestbook extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
    protected $_name = 'tablename';

    // do stuff
}

新方法:

// The actual model
class Default_Model_Guestbook
{
    protected $_comment;
    protected $_created;
    protected $_poster;
    // list continues with all columns
}

// Dbtable for this model
class Default_Model_DbTable_Guestbook extends Zend_Db_Table_Abstract
{
    /** Table name */
    protected $_name    = 'guestbook';
}

// Mapper 
class Default_Model_GuestbookMapper
{
    public function save($model);
    public function find($id, $model);
    public function fetchAll();
}

由于我对这种编程风格缺乏经验，我发现很难掌握后一种方式的实际好处；我知道这种方法尽可能地将数据库与实际逻辑分开，理论上这应该可以更容易地过渡到另一个数据库平台.但是，我真的没有看到这种情况发生在我正在工作的任何项目中.
