------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  
  This concept reflects the notion that configuration (defining a bunch of 
stuff in a side file) can be avoided by following convetion (adhering to 
prescribed patterns) and that this is generally a good thing.  The RDB DAS has 
several reasonable conventions in place and using these can significantly 
reduce a developers work-load.
  
- As an example, the RDB DAS must know how a !DataObject's properties map to a 
database table key in order to generate the INSERT/UPDATE and DELETE statements 
necessary to flush a data graphs to a database.  In typical Object/Relational 
mappings frameworks, this information is provided in a config file with 
something like this:

     <Table tableName="COMPANY">

     </Table>
  }}}
  
+ One convention the RDB DAS understands is that if a !DataObject has a 
property named "ID" then it can assume that the property maps to a key column 
in the database.  So, if a developer follows this convention (naming key 
columns in database tables "ID") then this key-mapping information need not be 
specified in a configuration file.
