Marina,
The current toplink code requires that a platform be specified. If it is
not specified, it gets defaulted to OraclePlatform.
Peter, Tom, Gordon,
Sun's persistence layer can auto detect database platform using return
value of DataBaseMetaData#getDatabaseProductName() and mapping it to
appropriate database platform. It helps in ease of use. There is no need
to change any config file to run against a different database vendor.
Can we integrate similar functionality in Toplink Essentials?
Thanks,
Mitesh
