Abstract
A system, method and article of manufacture are provided for translating an object attribute to and from a database value. A database is provided and a conversion process is determined for converting an object attribute to and from a database value. The conversion process is encapsulated in an attribute converter. A first object attribute is directed to the attribute converter for conversion to a first database value. A second database value is directed to the attribute converter for conversion to a second object attribute. The second attribute converter is substituted for the attribute converter for altering the conversion of the attribute, and the attribute converter is altered for relieving a performance bottleneck.
Claims12
A method for translating an object attribute to and from a database value, comprising the steps of:
- (a) providing a database;
- (b) determining a conversion process for converting an object attribute to and from a database value;
- (c) encapsulating the conversion process in an attribute converter;
- (d) directing a first object attribute to the attribute converter for conversion to a first database value;
- (e) directing a second database value to the attribute converter for conversion to a second object attribute
- (f) substituting a second attribute converter for the attribute converter for altering the conversion of the attribute;
- and
- (g) altering the attribute converter for relieving a performance bottleneck.
A computer program embodied on a computer readable medium for translating an object attribute to and from a database value, comprising:
- (a) a code segment that provides a database;
- (b) a code segment that determines a conversion process for converting an object attribute to and from a database value;
- (c) a code segment that encapsulates the conversion process in an attribute converter;
- (d) a code segment that directs a first object attribute to the attribute converter for conversion to a first database value;
- (e) a code segment that directs a second database value to the attribute converter for conversion to a second object attribute;
- (f) a code segment that substitutes a second attribute converter for the attribute converter for altering the conversion of the attribute;
- and
- (g) a code segment that alters the attribute converter for relieving a performance bottleneck.
A system for translating an object attribute to and from a database value, comprising:
- (a) logic that provides a database;
- (b) logic that determines a conversion process for converting an object attribute to and from a database value;
- (c) logic that encapsulates the conversion process in an attribute converter;
- (d) logic that directs a first object attribute to the attribute converter for conversion to a first database value;
- (e) logic that directs a second database value to the attribute converter for conversion to a second object attribute;
- (f) logic that substitutes a second attribute converter for the attribute converter for altering the conversion of the attribute;
- and
- (g) logic that alters the attribute converter for relieving a performance bottleneck.
