All object-oriented applications have to, somehow, to store and retrieve persistent objects in some database. The database is usually relational, and the methods are extremely similar in all kinks of applications, link an aspect. Without an ORM Framework, it is necessary to reinvent and maintain these database access routines in every new application.

Product Description

The ARBT ORM (Object-Relational Mapping) Framework is a product that allow objects in an object-oriented .NET application to be easily persisted and retrieved from a relational database. Being 100% managed code, it is an ideal tool for developing object-oriented solutions, allowing a complete dissociation between the database and the object-oriented development.

Main Features

The ARBT ORM Framework is a library that provides several abstract classes from which business objects should inherit. By using classes that implement object factory and object broker patterns, the solution's objects can be created with all information necessary to allow the mechanisms. Support classes can be used to store and retrieve instances from relational databases such as  Microsoft® SQL Server, Oracle® or any ADO.NET compatible server. Objects can be also persisted and retrieved in XML format. The attribute mapping can be done using database views or using XML description files.

 

• Speed up the development process of object-oriented applications based on Microsoft® .NET platform,
• Allow developers to focus on implementing the business rules by automating all database tasks..
• Standardize the business objects layers allowing applications in different domains to reuse the same basic objects.
