Plugin static data
When distributing plugins they often require static data to be setup to function correctly. While this can be handled in the postSetup function, it isn'/files/ in its storage directory which are loaded automagically.
So far to big issues arise:
The order in which the data is loaded is crucial. Mostly this is the order of the modules which is typically dictated by their references. However self-referencing modules also require the order of the individual entries to be correct.

Advanced storage filtering
Currently JAS uses the Data field values to build up the WHERE clause in the SQL query (and Storage::_filterDataset) in a straightforward but limited way. It should be possible to get data via a more flexible method that allows for advanced nesting.
Example:
SELECT *
FROM blog_entries
LEFT JOIN blog_tagsmapping ON
blog_entries.nr=
blog_tagsmapping.blog_entries --automagically determined based on where clause
LEFT JOIN blog_tag...
PostgreSQL and other DB support
JAS should support PostgreSQL (and optionally other databases). The post sensible way seems to be to have a base SQL class which contains the majority of the query components (SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, FROM, WHERE, ORDER BY, etc) which can be overridden by the extending classes.
An interesting option would be to use PDO for the base class as this will support more than just MySQL and PostgreSQL. Additionally it allows for "named variables" for prepared statements which should m...
1:* filtering should use reference ID instead of referenced field
Currently when setting the 1:* reference field value the MySQL use referenced field instead of the ID field of the referenced module. Using the former is rather useless since that's effectively the ID field of the original module.
So change:
FROM `module`
LEFT JOIN `referenceModule` ON `module`.`nr`=`referenceModule`.`referenceField`
WHERE referenceModule
`.`referenceField
`="123"
To:
FROM `module`
LEFT JOIN `referenceModule` ON `module`.`nr`=`referenceModule`.`referenceFi...
