英文文献Object persistence and JavaBy Arsalan Saljoughy, JavaW, 05/01/97Object durability, or persistence, is the term you often hear used in conjunction with the issue of storing objects in databases. Persistence is expected to operate with transactional integrity, and as such it is subject to strict conditions. (See the Resources section of this article for more information on transaction processing.) In contrast, language services offered through standard language libraries and packages are often free from transactional constraints.As well see in this article, evidence suggests that simple Java persistence will likely stem from the language itself, while sophisticated database functionality will be offered by database vendors.No object is an islandIn the real world, you rarely find an object that lacks relations to other objects. Objects are components of object models. The issue of object durability transcends the issue of object model durability and distribution once we make the observation that objects are interconnected by virtue of their relations to one another.The relational approach to data storage tends to aggregate data by type. Rows in a table represent the physical aggregate of objects of the same type on disk. The relationships among objects are then represented by keys that are shared across many tables. Although through database organization, relational databases sometimes allow tables that are likely to be used together to be co-located (or clustered) in the same logical partition, such as a database segment, they have no mechanism to store object relationships in the database. Hence, in order to construct an object model, these relationships are constructed from the existing keys at run time in a process referred to as table joins. This is the same well-known property of the relational databases called data independence. Nearly all variants of object databases offer some mechanism to enhance the performance of a system that involves complex object re
