Database Persistance

[rtrujillo]

Have a few newbie questions.
 
I am corrected to assume OFBiz does use Sun's java persistence?   If
they developed their own persistence layer?
 
How is persistence implemented?
 
Can I use Enterprise DB as my database.   Also can I use Sequoia?
 
How about JDK 1.5?
 
Thanks.

Richard,

One of the super cool things about mailing lists is that you can  
search the history. I recommend a site like nabble.com which archives  
various mailing lists and provides a nice search tool that is thread  
aware and such.

What do you mean by "Sun's java persistence"? If you mean JDBC then  
the answer is yes, but we also use tools on top of JDBC to avoid  
excessive code and SQL in application code.

Check out:

http://incubator.apache.org/ofbiz/VideosFrameworkIntro.html

Check out docs.ofbiz.org, mainly the technical space and the Basic  
Production Setup Guide in that space.

Yes, I tried EnterpriseDB with postgresql drivers. it works as for
postgresql (i don't remind differences)

David,  I have searched OFBiz and several other sites.  Its just can not
find clear information, about the subject I am asking about.  That's why
I wanted it posted on the User list.

No, I mean Sun's Java Persistant API.  I am correct to assume there
isn't any O/R mapping used by the Entity Engine?

I have already been here.  I want feedback someone who has EnterpriseDB
or knows of any issue.  Again, that why I sent the question to the user
list.

Richard,

No, any O/R mapping is used by the Entity Engine. The Data model is relationnal., Entity Engine does the "persistence" itself.
Please see : http://incubator.apache.org/ofbiz/docs/entity.html
