indexed and unique are certainly being used - also in Element, Key
and Value. I do not use deleteAction, sequence and valueStrategy
yet, but I think that it might make sense to use them in the future.
OK.
The point that this raises is that my understanding of the "split" JDO-ORM
was
to separate the ORM part out (by ORM I mean the part that can be specified
in
the ORM metadata file) since it best practice to restrict schema-info to
MetaData (and not have it in annotations). So we would then have 2 sets of
annotations ... some as JDO and some as ORM. I didn't understand this as
separating out purely RDBMS-specific concepts that cant be used elsewhere.
If
we go down that route, what do XML datastores use ? Or LDAP ?
e.g specifying an index name, is specifying something specific to the
datastore in use (which may not be usable in other datastores).
Comments ?

The question is whether this separation is really needed at all.
It might make sense to separate XML files but annotations,
when used, will be side by side ragardless of any separation.
In my opinion annotation separation is not really needed but
maybe I missed the point.
