  1. Onject Database Survey ... Help needed ...

    Marc G. Fournier <scrappy@hub.org> — 2001-03-24T22:44:51Z

    I recently got sent a survey to fill out that is meant to compare various
    Object databases ... there are ~20 sections to this thing, asking
    questions ranging from General Architecture to interactions with External
    DBMSs ... and *alot* of questions that I've no experience in, and,
    therefore, no answers to ...
    
    I've HTMLized it as best as I can and put the resultant sections up at
    http://www.postgresql.org/survey ...
    
    I'm just starting to go through the sections, so right now, none of them
    have answers yet ... if ppl could help by reading through and providing
    answers so that I can provide as accurate of information as possible, it
    should give for a good initial showing for PgSQL on the Object stage ...
    
    I don't need the whole section answered ... for instance, there is a
    section on Mapping_Objects_To_External_DBMS, that have sub-sections like:
    
    ===============
       C++ Map Generation Processing
    
       This table describes the process for generating the mapping.
    
    
    
       processing .h files
    
       processing generated C++ files
    
       external run-time via reflection
    ===============
    
    getting an email back with the section name and the sub-section
    cut-n-paste with an appropriate 'Yes' or 'No' after each 'question' would
    be great, and I'll merge that back into the HTML itself ...
    
    Thanks ...

    I honestly don't make sense of some of the survey questions. On the Java
    Map Generation for instance, I feel the possible are answers is not close
    to reality  at all - and there is not very much pgsql specific work in this
    process either... I usually have a XML representation of the schema that is
    transformed by XSL into SQL schema and docs. The same XML schema is then
    used to create the basic object model for the schema by using straight
    class to relation mapping.
