Flattened means that the table in the middle (that only holds the keys to join the two other tables) is "hidden" in the EOs, and when you create a new object in one of the two tables, the join table will automatically be populated. So let's say you have a People and a Job tables, and the join table is People_Job, to add a new job to a person, you do : aPerson.setRelationJob(newJob) No need to do aPerson.setRelationshipPeopleJob(new PeopleJob). _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list.
