[CDO] Data Mapping/Schema Control [message #990927]

Hello,

When I allow CDO to generate my database schema using the default functionality the database schema tables mirror my EMF objects. I was wondering if there was a way to configure CDO to generate a table structure that is different from my EMF model structure? Is there a way to map and control the schema structure?

Thanks
-Andrew

I guess you're talking about the (default) DBStore. That one is made for an out-of-the-box model experience and with
support for all core and optional CDO functionality. The only mapping strategy supported is a horizontal mapping (one
table per concrete class, no joins). Mapping strategies are pluggable but we only ship the horizontal implementation.
Table and column names, types, etc. are configurable either through the used DBAdapter (override it) or through model
annotations.

If you need more control over the mappings then you may want to try out the HibernateStore, which Martin Taal has
impressively evolved over time. Lately he even added support for auditing.
