Simple EMF model persistence to database? [message #1835995]

Dear all,

I am considering using EMF for a project where I need code generation.

The models need to be persisted in a (Posgres) database.

Is there a simple way to do that? I came across Teneo, but it looks unmaintained. The last update was in 2017 and it requires an old version of Hibernate (<5.0).

I also read about CDO, but it does way to much (and thus especially has too much performance implications).

Does anyone have a suggestion?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Jens,
We are using CDO for our project since four years with two DB backend : H2 and PostgreSQL.

Overall performances are good enougth.
There are some performances differences between H2 and PostgreSQL.

For the recovery of certain data we go directly through database SQL queries.

EMF has built in support to serialize to XML. If your models aren't too large, you could convert to XML, store it in the database, and then when you read it back EMF can load the data model from XML.

If you have large models however this could be slow. In this case if you only want to load specific data CDO is the way to go.
