Thanks Adam! > So how are you accessing the DB if you don't have a JDBC driver? JNDI or > something? UniObjects for Java. (Yes, UniData and its near-twin UniVerse are now owned by IBM.) I have objects such as UniFile and UniRecord and UniDynamicArray to work with. UniData (my version at least) does not have a JDBC driver and it does not speak SQL. (Even if it did, "normalizing" the data rather defeats the purpose of having a multi-valued database. :) So all the existing ORM tools are out-- IBM sells RedBack, but it's low 5-digits and I'm not sure it's justified. > For your situation with the html form, think over whether you are using > the right pattern for this, check out > http://martinfowler.com/isa/OR-mapping.html - direct mapping of the html > field to the DB field may not be the optimal solution It took me a while to realize that the ORM part is where I'm stuck.
