Specifications for the data objects components

OpenUSS tries to support all kinds of databases, that's why we don't use any kind of extensions such as triggers, functions and so on in the database. We try to keep the database simple.

The most important point is: we map each entity component to one database table. So we are free to choose what kind of database we want to use for every entity component. This makes us flexible to integrate old and already populated database in OpenUSS. One restriction should be thought is that the database must already have an implementation of JDBC driver.
