Persistence framework for Oracle, SQL Server, Access and XML Files.Features include:- Extracts the DDL file from the application object model. - SQL Query API: can be used to build queries independently of the native SQL dialect the actual database is using.- Virtual Links mapping technique: concept to build views within the business entities. Values of related entities can be joined directly into the object as read-only properties.- Versioning: adresses database versioning via version attributes on classes and properties. This feature makes it possible to work with different database versions at the same time using the same entity model. The version used at runtime can be selected by the concrete instance of the ObjectMapper .NET.- Paging: intended for server-side paging, a feature for browsing large collections of data.- Object localization: a method is propvided to localize value objects for different languages. This is done implicitely during database queries, no additional queries are required.- The requirements of the framework on the entity model are an interface supported by entity classes and meta information provided as attributes on classes and properties.- Possible use of typed or self defined collections- Optimistic concurrency- Open for custom factory frameworks: instead of hardwiring the creation of objects, it is separated and customizable.
