    August 31, 2004 Alex Woodie

    August 31, 2004 Alex Woodie

    August 31, 2004 Alex Woodie

    THOUGHT last week added support for IBM‘s DB2 database to CocoBase Enterprise O/R Version 4.5, Service Release 6, the latest release of its Java-based object-to-relational mapping tool. CocoBase was designed to automate much of the work that goes into allowing applications written in object-oriented languages, such as Java, to access relational databases. With support for DB2, CocoBase also now supports the iSeries.
