Persist.NET is a persistence framework entirely written in C# and available
under LGPL license.
This project is partially based on the
java implementation of Artem Rudoy, wich uses
Scott Ambler's white
paper as a design source.
Main features of Persist.NET :
-
Complete Database Abstraction: By calling the Retrieve, Save, Delete
methods of your persistent objects, Persist.NET
automatically performs the corresponding action on your database.
-
Associations :
By declaring object associations in your schema, it is possible to execute
update or delete operations on associated objects.
-
Transactions :
Implicit (using Attributes) or explicit transaction mechanism is available.
-
Locking :
Optimistic lock is available.
-
Multi-database support :Any ADO.NET driver can be used to access
database : OleDb,Sql,Oracle,MySQL,PostgreSQL,...
Status :
Persist.NET is still Beta software, some features are missing
(essentially the cache mechanism). But it is pretty stable and runs very
well even on large databases.
Mailing lists :
There is two mailing list available on sourceforge
