Folks, I am considering to use ibatis as a database mapping tool for Jakarta Slide and am wondering if anyone can tell me
1) which databases are known to work with ibatis? Really all known ones? Or this there an explicite list? 2) how ibatis compares to OBJ (http://db.apache.org/ojb) or hibernate? What would be reasons for ibatis? 3) if I store back a huge object which is only partly changed, how does ibatis know which data to store back? Does it compare the object to anything? Is caching involved in this? Or does it store back everything? Would be great if anyone had any hints! Cheers and thanks in advance, Oliver
