Goal
|
Access data stored in an object-oriented database using ODBC, OLE DB, or JDBC from a Windows or UNIX client. The database is a persistent object-oriented system that has classes and instances. |
|
Requirements
|
- Support one or more of the following standards, allowing applications that comply with these standards to access the data:
- ODBC compliant access from Windows or UNIX
- OLE DB compliant access from Windows
- JDBC compliant access from Windows or UNIX
- Access objects of any class as a table.
- Support dynamic schema.
- Client/server - Process database access on the database server platform.
- Use object-oriented database system access mechanisms - Support optimized execution of joins by using the pointer references inherent in OODBMS.
|
|
Resolution
|
With DataDirect OpenAccess SDK, you provide an ODBC, OLE DB, or JDBC interface to a proprietary non-SQL database by implementing a small set of functions. |
|
Implementation
|
See ODBC Access to an Object Wrapper (.pdf) for an example and implementation details.
|
|
Benefits
|
- Quickly implement ODBC, OLE DB, or JDBC access to data stored in an object-oriented database from Windows or UNIX client applications.
- Expose object databases through a relational model and provide efficient processing of JOINS, which are required to access multiple levels.
