Integrated ORM in Jetfire V1.2

New in .net Jetfire language version 1.2 is an integrated transparent object relational mapping (ORM) system. The system is transparent to Jetfire programmer. The major benefit is that Jetfire now supports unlimited number of objects, constrained only by the database. Jetfire comes complete with drivers for SQL 2008 (including 2008 Express). Drivers for other database systems can easily be created if they support .net Linq.

Jetfire still contains its original prevalence object persistence mechanism. This prevalence mechanism has been enhanced by an transparent ORM system.

In the Jetfire language when objects are created or changed they are automatically placed in the public workspace. All objects in the public workspace are automatically loaded on initialization. Objects can optionally be placed in workspaces where objects are only brought into main memory if they are explicitly needed or as the result of query operation.

Linq style queries are directly supported in the Jetfire language. Queries can also be performed directly from .net C#.
