Hello All.

My company and I are working on a fairly large EMF based project. We are currently researching data store solutions and are interested in checking out CDO.

In your honest opinion, which of the CDO Store technologies are the most mature?

Looking at the matrix on http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/cdo/drops/I20120929-0501/help/index.html
it appears that the DB Store is the most feature rich. But I seem to see lots of documentation for Teneo-Hibernate.

So we are a little puzzled and decided to see what suggestions we can get from you folks on the Forums.

Although Oracle relational database support is very desirable it is not essential so we are interested in both Oracle/Non Oracle opinions.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
-Andrew

I know that Martin Taal puts a lot of effort in the HibernateStore. The Hibernate test suite does not run as part of our
automated builds but I think Martin ensures somehow that the specified functionality (a "little" less than CDO's overall
functionality) is tested locally in our test bed. You can also run these test suites if you want.

The DBStore is the most feature rich store and it's probably the most widely used store, too. Our automated build
executes more than 13.000 test cases for the DBStore, spread over 10 different configuration scenarios:
https://hudson.eclipse.org/hudson/job/emf-cdo-integration/2415/testReport

And there's support for some other backend types, such as DB4O, MongoDB or Objectivity/DB. My personal impression is
that some work has to be done to make those production ready (I've only implemented the MongoDB store myself).

I've recently developed a RandomAccessFile based journaling store, named LissomeStore. It still uses an RDB for a small
and fixed number of indexes into the random access file(s). For commits it uses a journal file and adjusts the index
tables asynchronously. The performance of large commits can typically be increased by 600% compared to the best DBStore
configurations.

Cheers

Hi Andrew,
The hibernate store is being used and maintained actively. But for sure the dbstore has much much more active users and
has many more features related to branching/revisions etc.
http://download.eclipse.org/modeling/emf/cdo/drops/I20120929-0501/help/org.eclipse.emf.cdo.doc/html/reference/StoreFeatures.html

Also the testcoverage for the dbstore is much better. For the hibernatestore there are about 900 testcases which are
being run.

The dbstore features are visible in the database schema. Which you might or might not like (see also the post
'Understanding CDO' from Christophe Bouhier). If you like hql and hibernate and have a straightforward business app to
develop (with grids and forms) then it can make sense to use the hibernate store (but the dbstore is also a valid choice
:-), if you need the advanced things like branching and revisions then for sure you should stick to the dbstore.

gr. Martin

Thanks Eike!
Can you give me some warm/fuzzies on which has been tested better with Oracle or which you think will lend itself better to an Oracle back end (DB Store or Hibernate Store)? That information would help a lot.
Thanks again

Sorry, I can't. Hopefully Oracle users can help with this piece of information...

As always that depends on what you need.
Hibernate has the fascinating query language (hql) that does the transformation into db specific sql and you can influence the generated target schema (table structures, etc.) in many ways (hibernate mapping model). But, of course, that is another (thick) layer between CDO and your back end.

If you know that you will just use the Oracle db, then, try the DB Store. If you are going to use db specific queries and if you need to switch between different RDBMs, then you would have to sync those queries for all dbs used...
