Hi Martin,

I play around with teneo to evaluate it for my ideas.
I wonder, how I can read the meta model (EPackages)
from an existing Database. Until now I only found
examples how to write existing EPackages into the DB
using HBDataStore.initialize().
Is there a way to retrieve those EPackages from the
DB meta data, i.e. Table and Column definitions?
If not:
what would be the best practice to store the ecore meta model.
My use case is to persist not only the model (EObjects), but
also to persist and evolve the meta model as well.

Thanks for any hints on this.

Hi Oliver,
There are 2 ways to persist the model in the database:
1> fully schematized, then you get a table for an eclass, estructuralfeature etc
2> as blobs in a custom epackages table (you need to create this yourselve by creating a persistence ecore model with a
PersistedEPackage type which has efeatures like the nsuri, name, and a long text to store the epackage blob)

I would go for option 2, I think that's the best scalable solution. There are some technical details on how to resolve
epackages referencing eachother which are stored in different blobs in the database, but this is quite solvable.
