Abstract
A first method is disclosed for mapping data from a plurality of objects to a relational database. The method begins with the step of generating a transit object and its structure (TO.sub.-- schema, dataGraph and dataBlocks). The next step of the method is populating the transit object based on the data of the plurality of objects. The method continues with the step of transmitting the transit object from the client object broker (COB) to the server object broker (SOB) using a communication server. The method next includes the step of populating a data structure based on the dataBlock object. The method concludes with the step of populating the relation&l database based on the data structure. A second method is also disclosed for mapping data from a relational database to a plurality of objects.
