20090063435 | PARAMETER TYPE PREDICTION IN OBJECT RELATIONAL MAPPING - Techniques for object relational mapping in database technologies are described herein. According to one embodiment, in response to a query statement for accessing a relational database, a syntax tree is generated to represent semantic information of the query statement, where the query statement includes a wildcard parameter and is implemented as an object of a SQL. A data type of the wildcard parameter is predicted based on the semantic information obtained from the syntax tree in view of a structure representing the syntax tree. The predicted data type of the wildcard parameter is used to access the corresponding entry of the relational database. Other methods and apparatuses are also described. | 03-05-2009 |

A data type of the boolean parameter is predicted based on the semantic information obtained from the syntax tree in view of a structure representing the syntax tree. The boolean parameter is configured to be either a numeric value or a string dependent upon metadata used to map the SQL object to the relational database. Other methods and apparatuses are also described. | 03-05-2009 |

In response to a second cache request received at a second cache API associated with a transaction for loading data from a data entry of the relational database, the loaded data is stored in the local cache without sending an invalidation message to the remaining members of the cache cluster. Other methods and apparatuses are also described. | 03-05-2009 |
