Ah, I see WRT the proxies...
Ok, I think I have it all straight now and I really appreciate you
hanging in there to answer my questions. In closing, I'll make some
remarks, which are not time-critical to answer, since your answers
have already provided all I need to proceed. However:
1.) You said the DelayCollectionLoading was relatively new - so what
would people do in the scenario of one-to-many (or m-2-m)
and having huge numbers of child entities, before this feature was
introduced?
2.) What do other OR mapping providers do? e.g. Hibernate or Datanucleus JDO?
Thanks again,
Chris
