[FLOW3-general] FLOW3 / MySQL

[Thomas Layh]

Hi Michael,

thank you very much for your reply.

It is working now. I am not sure but I think I discovered a small error in
the getting started tutorial.

On page:
http://flow3.typo3.org/documentation/tutorials/getting-started/gettingstarted.controller/
they say to use
$this->objectFactory->create('\F3\Whatever');
but this results in an error. After checking the documentation I found out
that they say to use:
$this->objectManager->create('\F3\Whatever');
and this works for me.

I really have to get rid of the old way to think a little bit.

But there is another small problem. For a completely new project everything
is fine. But what if I already have database tables and want to reuse them.
Do I have to import them by writing a setupController and putting all data
there? Or writing some custom sql to get the data and transfer it to the new
structure?

Thanks again very much for your help.
Greetings,
Thomas Layh
