Is this the fastest/right way to use Datastore, i.e. to get a client by the "id" parameter: http://pastebin.com/WEDGbNnT

omnivibe, not quite

you don't want to use query

there's a non-query way of doing Get() by id

Strom: what would that look like?

look at the first example code here

this is also a good page regarding this

also, I suggest using the "goon" library instead of straight using the Google provided datastore API, which kinda sucks

oh so I need to rename one of my properties... "id" there is meant to be user-supplied, like nickname

and several entities could have the same "id" (i.e. nickname)

entities with different kinds can have the same "id", yes

the full id is calculated something like this: appid-namespace-parentkind-parentid-kind-id

thanks... ah gotta run :\ will need to pick this up tomorrow. thanks
