Object Role Modeling

I have seen the newest .NET show on the web recently and it introduced the ORM (Object Role Modeling). I think that this is a very good approach in order to build Object Orientated Models. Is there some kind of possibility to generate C# code stubs out of the ORMs yet. I think that this is the very missing stone in the whole idea. If we think further the information stored within the ORM would allow generating some kind of a Ralational-Object Mapper code including simple SQL. So if you changed your ER Model or add some new “Facts” you would just generate your ALTER-nation statements for the DB and generate new C# classes including the update of the Relational - Object mapping. Don’t you thing that this is actually the future of how applications will be created?

I have a fundamental question about
the way .NET handles the object orientated way of
persistence. I am coming from JAVA and WebObjects (Apple)
World and I am looking for a convenient way of working
with objects without seeing any SQL statements only
objects. I have used that approach for years on the
WebObjects Platform (Enterprise Object Framework) and in
Java recently (Container Managed Persistence). I am
looking for something like that in the Microsoft world.

As far as I understand Microsoft does not distinguish
between the Object Model and the Relational Model. The
main difference is that the Object model allows n : m
relationships and the Relational does not allow them. Here
a small example to visualize the problem:

Example:
There is a Patient object with following Attributes

String patientGUID;
String name;
Int age;
Hashtable diseases; (or some other Container like
Collection or Array)

And there is a Disease Object

String diseaseGUID;
String name;

In the object Model there is relation between Patient and
Disease where the patient has his diseases but on the
other site one disease can belong to 1..* patients. (n :
m)

That n : m relationship can not exist within a relational
database without a link table that contains the
connections between the tables: Patient and Disease.

Now, I would like to connect the object Model containing
TWO Entities (Patient, Disease) with the relational
database (containing THREE tables). Then I want to work
with my objects; e.g. create new diseases connect them to
existing patients by putting the diseases into the array
or create new Patients and connect them with already
existing diseases or just change a Patients name. When I
am finished I just want to say SAVECHANGES and the
database is updated accordingly including all link table
entries.

So all I have to care about are my objects and the
relations between them, some invisible layer does all the
dirty work like building SQL, converting the data types
and caching. So if I fetch a Patient with a specified GUID
I do not have to care about fetching his diseases. They
are fetched automatically. If there are too many Diseases
I do not care some kind of algorithm handles that problem
in such a way that if I have to search all of them for
something they are simply there. They are loaded on demand
(lazy evaluation)

Supposing that the disease has a further connection with
some DiseaseType Object/Table and that table has an
attribute/column "Description" I can access it by typing
the following code:

TextField1.Text = currentDisease.type().description()

Please note that to retrieve the description value I did
only fetch the Patient. The diseases and its types were
fetched automatically.

Is something like that possible or am I excepting too much
of the .NET?

What you are talking about is not a .net feature per-say. What you are looking for is an application server (which is what WebObjects is).

.net can be used to develop an environment like you describe and once it is developed, you can do what you want. However, it does not remove the development aspect of back-end SQL calls, etc.

ODBC

12-Jun-02 5:50

Hi,
I am learning C++ and have been doing pretty well until I got to this project I needed to complete. It's just a simple database, nothing fancy. I've imported msado15.dll, and have done eveything by the book but I keep getting this error upon executing the program that says "Data source name not found and no default drive specified. My instructor simply said that some people have an ODBC on thier systems and others don't. If I don't then I wont be able to get this to work. I'd like very much to concentrate on database building and design and was wondering if there is any way around this. I have WinXP Home editiion, and have just gotten (although not installed yet) pro. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I did set up my DSN and just now I did it again thinking that maybe something went wrong the last time. Any other ideas?? Please?

Thanks,
Garry

ADO/MDAC/CDO2000 Memory Leak

[James Pullicino]12-Jun-02 4:51

As posted on MSDN newsgroup:

Hello,

I think that we've stumbled accross a bug in CDO2000 which
causes a massive memory leak. This leaks happens on
Windows 2000 Professional. I failed to reproduce on
Windows 2000 Advanced Server.

Here is the code:

/////
IMessagePtr iMsg ;
iMsg.CreateInstance(__uuidof(Message)) ;

FieldsPtr Flds = iMsg->GetFields() ;
Flds->Item[cdoTo]->Value="james@drinkinginthesun.com";
/////

Is this a known issue? The leak will become obvious if the
above code is thrown into an infite loop. I have tested
this on Windows 2000 Professional with SP2 and Office 2000.

Thanks.

Regards,

James Pullicino

Response from MS:

James,

I see the leak you are reporting. This is apparently a leak in ADO (MDAC),
not CDOSYS. By removing the lines:
FieldsPtr Flds = iMsg->GetFields() ;
Flds->Item[cdoTo]->Value="james@drinkinginthesun.com";

and instead doing:
iMsg->To = "james@drinkingthesun.com";

I eliminated the leak.

Since you can't repro this on your Advanced Server, try comparing the
versions of MDAC on those machines...perhaps that is the difference?

System DNS database

Hi,
Is it posible to change a System DSN database path, runtime from a C++ application. Maybe with an API function or??
I have a alias to the System DSN, with this alias I can change the System DNS and by this change the MS Access database connected through the System DSN, but this meens that I need to create a new System DNS for every Access database I use under the application.

Thanks!!

Is it necesary to create a System DNS entry for your app, maybe it would be more usefull to create it "on the fly", so you wont have to depend on that fixed path

How access Indexing Server with ADO.NET

Hello all.
With ASP/ADO I tried query the Indexing Server of WIndows 2000 server and extract with success many usefull information about files, like Author,Company,Comments,Version ecc. ecc.

Now, how can do this with ADO.NET/ASP.NET.
I have to use a OleDb Provider?

Thanks in advance.

ATL7 OLEDB Consumer templates & stored procedures

Jörgen Sigvardsson5-Jun-02 2:35

Jörgen Sigvardsson

5-Jun-02 2:35

I have a consumer template like:

[
    db_command(L"{ ? = CALL dbo.MyProcedure(?) }")
]
class MyProcedure
{
    ...
    [ db_param(1, DBPARAMIO_OUTPUT) ] LONG m_RETURN_VALUE;
    [ db_param(2, DBPARAMIO_INPUT) ] LONG m_id;

    void GetRowsetProperties(CDBPropSet* pPropSet)
    {
         pPropSet->AddProperty(DBPROP_CANFETCHBACKWARDS, true, DBPROPOPTIONS_OPTIONAL);
         pPropSet->AddProperty(DBPROP_CANSCROLLBACKWARDS, true, DBPROPOPTIONS_OPTIONAL);
    }

};

And when I use it I do:

// establish a session to database
storedproc.m_id = someValue;
HRESULT hr = storedproc.Open(session);
// ...check hr
hr = storedproc.MoveFirst();
if(hr == S_OK && storedproc.m_RETURN_VALUE == 0) // retval == 0 is ok
    doSomething();
else
    reportBloodyFailure();

It does not work! MoveFirst returns S_OK, the data from the rowset is in the accessor, but the darn return value is not valid! it's 0xcccccccc which looks an awful lot like uninitialized stack memory... The only two valid return values from this function is 0 or 2 (where 2 is an error code).

Is there anything special I have to do to actually get the return code?

Greetings,

I figured it out, all you have to do is the following:

_variant_t p(long(0));
FieldPtr pItem = pRecordset->Fields->GetItem((p)/*_variant_t(&index)*/);
CString szName = (LPCSTR)_bstr_t(pItem->Name);

and this gives you the key name (column heading) for an access database.

Heya
Make a "SELECT * FROM sysobjects WHERE xtype = 'U'", this will list all user tables from the database you make this query on.
If you want to list all databases the "SELECT * FROM master.dbo.sysdatabases"
