Hi Francesco,

Dear all,
I have just come to OJB, and it was my intention to use ODMG.
Is there any tutorial?


A simple odmg tutorial can be found in 'tutorial'-section
http://db.apache.org/ojb/docu/tutorials/odmg-tutorial.html


I would like to retrieve a collection of objects from a relational
database (Postgres), making a selection using non standard database
functions (postgis extension).
I was wondering:
1) if this is possible with ODMG?

No, this is not supported. To use specific sql-extension or functions you have to use plain SQL. It's possible to use plain SQL within the odmg-api using the underlying PB-api
http://db.apache.org/ojb/docu/guides/odmg-guide.html#Access+the+PB-api+within+ODMG
http://db.apache.org/ojb/docu/faq.html#performSQL

But why do you want to use OJB to read the data? It seems that the PostGIS jdbc extension can return java geometry objects

regards,
Armin

2) if the above is possible, then what is the configuration I should make
up, and what the query should look like?

Thank you,
Francesco.
