ObjectDB Database Search

The term persistable types refers to data types that can be used for storing data in the database. ObjectDB supports all the JPA persistable types , which are: User defined classes - Entity classes, Mapped superclasses, Embeddable classes. Simple Java data types : Primitive types , Wrappers, String

classes) are represented in JPQL by the following types of expressions: Variables - FROM ... . But more often they are used in JPQL path expressions that navigate to values of simple types (number, boolean, string, date). Simple type values are more useful in queries. They have special operators

The following interfaces and enum represent types in the JPA Metamodel API:  See the Metamodel Type Interface Hierarchy section for more details and examples.

JDO Annotation Attribute in javax.jdo.annotations.Persistent Class[] types default {} Types of the member. Used when the declared member type is a supertype of the actual type that is stored in the member. For example, the declared member type might be an interface type that must contain an object of a concrete type when used for persistence. Since: JDO 2.1

JDO Annotation Attribute in javax.jdo.annotations.Value Class[] types default {} Types of the values. This can be determined if using JDK1.5 generics but is required otherwise. Multiple types can be specified if the implementation supports multiple types . Since: JDO 2.1

JDO Annotation Attribute in javax.jdo.annotations.Key Class[] types default {} Types of the keys. This can be determined if using JDK1.5 generics but is required otherwise. Multiple types can be specified if the implementation supports multiple types . Since: JDO 2.1
