JADE ODBC Driver Soft Entities and Attributes

The JADE ODBC driver enables you to:

• Include user-defined (or soft) entities in a relational view

• Include user-defined (or soft) attributes of real classes or of entities in a relational view

• Implement a query provider that, given a class or soft entity and a search predicate expression (or WHERE clause), can return a result set of objects that will be used by the ODBC driver

To achieve a soft exposure to your application:

1. Implement the following RootSchema interfaces.

   • JadeRelationalEntityIF

   • JadeRelationalAttributeIF

   • JadeRelationalQueryProviderIF (optional)

2. Call methods in the RelationalView class, to add entities and attributes to the view.
