I think not. Of course, OJB offer a great features that depends uppon additional tables, like some SequenceManagers, etc. Actually I've programas running with OJB and reports being generated in JasperReports, Crystal Reports, Excel and Access...
No incompatibilities that I can see... Just remember that if you have another App that updates an table, and that table relyies in Extent feature (if you don't know what is, possible you don't need it - at least by now), the external app should save correct class name in ojbConcreteClass when inserting/updating records... In short: no, there is no incompatibilities. OJB is just a Object to Relational mapping tool. The best, IMHO.

Hi Folks, I am a newbie and I come with a simple question I want to clear befoire going through developments. 1/ I create a Java object 2/ I use OJB to store it in a RDBMS, the SQL structure of the table storing the object is known thanks to the generated xml mapping. 3/ Can I come with a Python/Perl/Whatever script and tap into the database (querying, adding records to the table corresponding to the Java object) and then access these updates with Java/OJB again ? I just want to make sure that OJB only use one SQL table per java object and not other utilities-tables that would make external access with other SQL driver difficult or impossible.
