Forgot to mention: DataNucleus allows you to use a wide range of datastores and switch between them without any code changes: eg., all the usual RDBMSes (MySQL, Oracle etc.,), Object Databases (DB4O and some others), Google Application Engine (GAE), LDAP, Excel plus loads more. If you don't want to commit to an ORM/RDBMS then DN would provide that level of protection against datastore 'lock in'. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [email protected] For additional commands, e-mail: [email protected]
