Object oriented application development using postrelational database Caché. Incl. 1 CD-ROM
Objektorientierte Anwendungsentwicklung mit der postrelationalen Datenbank Caché (development of object-oriented applications with the post-relational database Caché) covers the implementation of object-oriented applications on top of the post-relational Caché database by InterSystems, a version of which (for a single user environment) is shipped on CD-ROM together with the book. According to the cover text, the book introduces Caché's object model in detail and provides a step-by-step example to illustrate the development of Caché applications. However, the given example concerns only a single ``person class containing three attributes without any methods and is written in a purely descriptional style, which instructs what buttons to press, but which lacks any hints concerning the basics of an object-oriented methodology. Likewise, the introduction to object technology given in Chapter 2 and the description of the Caché object model in Chapter 3 are too short and too superficial to be of much value for a reader without a solid background in object-orientation. Instead, for readers being familiar with the principles of object-oriented programming (knowledge of Visual Basic and ActiveX is advantageous) and databases, in particular SQL, this book can serve as a Caché manual covering the following aspects: how to define classes using the Caché Object Architect or the Class Definition Language (CDL); the language Caché ObjectScript and its management of (persistent) objects and support for multidimensional arrays; some SQL extensions and the use of embedded SQL within Caché ObjectScript; GUI programming based on ActiveX and Visual Basic; Java integration (but not a single word on C++); programming of web applications; device handling. Finally, three appendices providing references for Caché ObjectScript, CDL, and SQL complete the book as an independent source for application programmers.
