One of the other things that is missing in the discussion of RTII, etc.
is the fact that dbooo is a pointer and Product is a type. If believe
the syntax you need is
if ( typeid( *dbooo ) == typeid( Product ) ) {
...
} else if ( typeid( *dbooo ) == typeid( Customer ) ) {
Notice the placement of the asterisk.
