Re: Persistence

Object models aren't supposed to capture all the
relationships among the information components, only those that are
relevant to the business context of a particular application.

I don't know if "supposed" is the correct word. I think "isn't able to"
is more correct.

Are you here only for bashing, or are seriously interested in OO ?

I use OO every day for a living.

If you don't need anything but persistence, persisting objects directly
would make sense. But mostly you really need the other features
provided by a RDBMS.

I don't get you here... Do you mean that every OO program absolutely
needs a SQL DBMS ?

Absolutely not, did you notice the word "mostly"? There are also many
programs that don't need persistence, and there are programs that need
other kind of persistence than a SQL DBMS can offer.
