We are looking into moving our software to an OO database. We looked
into Cache, and it seems pretty cool. Most of our software is written
in .NET, and I could not figure out if there was a way to create typed
libabries for .NET from Cache.

Is there a more specialized list for Cache?

Cheers,

Daniel.

Can you explain what you mean by that?

Cache objects are exposed as web services to .NET applications, which is
pretty cool once you get it working.
You get a real object that can Open and Save instances, query records
(really fast) and you which I believe you can subclass from as well.
Download the demo from intersystems.com , it is unrestriced for personal
use and contains the full documentation. The only annoying thing about
cache is the dates. You soon find out what I mean.

In Caché 5 you can use web services to return a Caché Object to .Net
(but as web services are stateless this is read-only so you'd need to
create another web method to pass the object back to Caché) or you can
wrap a query into either a typed or untyped .Net dataset.

You can also create datasets via Odbc.Net.

The Caché Object Factory for full read/write transactional object
access is still a Com object in 5.x.

In 5.1 (currently still in closed beta phase) there will be a managed
..Net provider and a native InterSystems Ado.Net driver.

Which kind of defeats the point of an object database.


That will be nice.
