O2DBI Overview Page

O2DBI - Introduction

O2DBI is a codegenerator for SQL-based data management layers. Based in a description of class hierarchies, it produces ready-to-use perl classes for storing and retrieving data.

Main features:

• support for arbitary complex class hierarchies
• polymorphic queries within class hierarchies
• easily extensible classes without adding another layer
• simple interface
• XML based description of classes

O2DBI is used in nearly all applications developed at the CeBiTec.

Please have a look at the O2DBI website for general information.
