Re: OO DB question

It's really an architectural question. Is the project small enough to manage
without an object model? for simple apps, you can pass datasets back and
forth. Definitely the easiest way to go. But this approach won't work in
more complex apps--multiple forms and numerous capabilities lead to
duplication and brittleness--when I fix X, I break Y. An object model helps
organize the work and isolate the various parts of the system from each
other, while not impeding communication among them. So, the question
becomes, "How much infrastructure do I need in this particular app?" For a
simple app, an object model is overkill.
