Hi, I have a question regarding the best method of storing a complex object which may grow to be very large in size.
I have an object 'BaseObject' which has a field of type List<SubObject>. I wish to add many SubObject's to BaseObjects, perhaps millions. When querying a SubObject I will first retrieve the BaseObject and then perform a query on its list of SubObjects to find the objects I need. Now, is it a good idea to store objects in this way? I.e. having a BaseObject which comprises an enormous list of SubObjects? Another method of doing this would be to take the relational database approach and have a BaseObject and SubObjects table where SubObjects reference BaseObjects via an ID. However, I would really like to maintain an object approach. What are your views on this? Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
