Hi
I already have experienced CDO using my meta model and sharing them with
CDO using the default CDO tutorial and ui.
I configure my server to work with a db store and MySQL database. But
when i launch my prototype I'm surprised that it's not only references
to my models that are stored in my database but all my model
I thought that was the teneo job to do a mapping between attributes
models and tables
So am I using Teneo implicitly ? or it's not the good way to use CDO and
i have to configure Teneo and adapt my code to store models in base ?

The benefit of Teneo over the standard CDO DBStore is that you have much more control on how your
model is mapped to the database, for example on topics such as naming of tables and columns, where
the foreign keys are placed, join tables (or not), handling of different inheritance mapping
strategies (incl. mappedsuperclass), etc. Teneo does a good job by generating a default mapping and
you can control many things by options or in even more detail by adding JPA annotations to your model.
Maybe Eike can add/complement my remarks (I don't know DBStore that well).
