This example uses the ODMG Java Binding and the ODMG Object Query Language (OQL). Other query languages for object databases would be similar. Notice that all the code is Java, with the exception of the query string. You will not find a database sub-language in this example. The part in blue relates to the animation of transparent persistence (new window). More information on the ODMG specification (new window). Note that the same code would used for object-relational mapping products (new window). Transparent persistent interfaces work with both object database or object-relational mapping products.
