Using db.klass.set_inner() in reactors

Hello

In short I'd like to know if it is reasonable to use the
Class.set_inner() method that is available only in the
backend (at
least in roundup.backends.back_sqlite.Class) but not in the
roundup.hyperdb.Class.

I want to use this because using the Class.set() method
directly
invokes the auditors and reactors, while being inside a
reactor that
is not really what I want (not to mention possible
recursion).  And I
need to use the db.someclass.set() method as I want to
modify a
property of an unrelated class.  More specifically when a
Link or
Mulitlink property on the current item is set to another
item (of
another class) I want that other class to also link to this
item.

So is it acceptable to use the Class.set_inner() method for
this, or
is that method supposed to be hidden?  Or maybe it is not
even
available for all backends?

As an asside I don't really see why the set() method is
implemented in
the backend, to me it would be more logical if the
hyperdb.Class
implemented the set() method and leave only set_inner() to
the
backend.  I think that would remove code duplication.

Floris

It's not part of the formal API. I would not recomment using
it as a way to 
get around a detector race condition, but rather re-examine
the detector 
design.
