The framework includes an attribute class for defining data corresponding to columns in a relational table and including data objects used to map between the relational table and a programmer-defined object oriented class. The attribute class also including flags used to indicate modifications to the data. The framework further includes a generator class providing methods for generating SQL text corresponding to the relational table as defined in the attribute class objects for a given table.
