SQL Server 2005: Storing Complex Managed Objects

Day/Time: Monday, June 12 1:30 PM - 2:45 PM

Room: 259 AB

Speaker(s): Hans-Peter Haberlandner, Wolfgang Portugaller

Object-oriented programming is state-of-the-art in software development today. When it comes to persistence, developers are often confronted with RDBMS lacking some of the rich features of the object-oriented paradigm. This session explains significant characteristics of persistence solutions and compares existing options. A specific category of persistence solutions which fully supports the object-oriented paradigm based on the mandatory features as specified in the "Object Oriented Database Management System Manifesto" is highlighted. To demonstrate these features Persistor.NET® is used together with SQL Server 2005. 

Track(s): Database Development and Administration

Session Type(s): Breakout Session

Session Level(s): 300 

Just contact us - it would be great to meet there.
