Abstract
In accordance with methods and systems consistent with the present invention, an improved object-relational mapping tool is provided that generates source code containing classes which preserve both changes to the database schema as well as customizations to a preexisting version of the classes. This functionality alleviates the programmer from having to recreate their changes to the classes when the database changes, thus saving significant development time over conventional systems.
