Future Developments

The following future developments are planned, depending on resources:

  1. Generalised locking mechanism not based on Object Ids (OIDs).

  2. This would be based on table name and Primary Key data.  The table name would be hashed to obtain another hashtable.  The key fields would then be turned into a string to be used as a hash.  Obviously a key field separator character is needed and this has to be stuffed if it appears in a key field itself.

  3. Tool for generating COBRA objects from RDBMS meta information.

  4. Support for 2 phase commits.

  5. Automated installation mechanism.

  6. Support for object hiearchies and composition - perhaps using Joins.

  7. Support for direct SQL execution.
