[UrbanSim-Users] writing specifications and coefficients to a baseyear database

Hello,

I'm updating our estimation management tool <http://trondheim.cs.washington.edu/cgi-bin/trac.cgi/wiki/EstimationTrapperKeeper
> to be able to write specifications and coefficients to the baseyear
database.

What I want to be able to do is to write arbitrary estimation results
(stored in my trapperkeeper database) to the
"<MODEL_NAME>_specification" and the "<MODEL_NAME>_coefficients" tables.

Is there a relatively easy way to write to these tables through Opus's
dataset/storage APIs?

I've been looking at what's done in
urbansim.estimation.Estimator::save_results and
urbansim.models.LandPriceModel.Test and am thinking that I might be
able to:

1. build dict_storage-based Storage object(s) to put the data in

2. get connection to the sql-based baseyear as a Storage object

3. Build opus_core.Coefficients and opus_core.EquationSpecification
datasets using the data in dict_storage

4. Tell the Coefficients and EquationSpecification objects to write
themselves to the baseyear storage

Does this seem like "the right way" to do what I want to do? Are the
Coefficients and EquationSpecification classes the right datasets to
use?

Any suggestions or pointers to relevant example code would be
appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian
