But how would you do that in C++? You can never automate it in such a way that this works:
class CChild : public CDBObj
{
//...
};
CChild child;
DB.Store(child);
I know, never say never - but right now i have no idea how you could implement
it. Of course you could just write
raw bytes, starting at &child, sizeof(child) bytes long. But this works only
with simple classes. If CChild has a member which is a pointer to some data then
the address of the pointer will be saved, not the data.
Maybe it's a different case with Java. We have learned Java at university but i haven't used it much. Maybe you can extend it in a way that such operations are supported.
