RE: Object-Oriented Tools

You
could also code your own data access layer from within the application...  That way all database access is done through this limited set of code...  Which is nice if you ever need to do things like change the schema, fix a bug or migrate to a new DBMS...

  We used it many moons ago with version 7.32.  It turned   out to be more complicated to administer and code than we ever anticipated so   it was put to pasture.  You're right in that many of the OO functionality   is included in the newer versions,  and what's not can be provided with   Java in the database.  We acquired it as a means to keep the database   access code agnostic of the DBMS used but it suffered from (self-inflicted)   poor implementation.  Eventually, the conclusion was reached that the   cost of this agnosticism was ridiculous and the whole Persistence layer was   eliminated from the application.  The client connections go straight to   the database via Net8.  One additional side-effect was that we can use   all of the Oracle security features available where as before the application   handled the user account privileges in the Persistence layer.  This gave   us visibility over who/what/where/how data was being manipulated.   HTH Tony Aponte

  Hi,
      We use a product called Persistence that   takes C++ code and makes the Oracle (or any   relational) database look like an object-oriented database. <FONT   size=2>Does anyone else use these sorts of tools? I'm not an object-oriented   guru by any means so forgive me if I sound a bit   vague. Isn't Oracle capable of doing the same thing?   What is the best tool for this?
