SDO identity
Jan 9th, 2008 by Eric Samson
I’ve heard several complaints about the lack of identity in SDO. This is sadly true and even more critical for the DAS.
The SDO / DAS expert groups are working on it. We should have a solution for that in upcoming versions of these standards.
What do you mean by identity ? Could you elaborate ?
Identity is a way to uniquely identify one object. That’s quite a typical notion in persistent object systems. Memory identifiers are not enough when you have to persist objects.
Currently SDO objects have one identity, but this one is non-durable, it is only valid as part of the SDO datagraph (XMLdocument).
We need to transform this identity into something usable by the DAS.
