44 Configuring an Object-Relational Data Type Array Mapping
This chapter describes the various components that you must configure in order to use an object-relational data type array mapping.
Note:
To map a collection of aggregate structures, use an object-relational data type object array mapping (see Section 40.1.4, "Object-Relational Data Type Object Array Mapping"). To store information in a separate table from the parent structure's table, use an object-relational data type nested table mapping (see Section 40.1.5, "Object-Relational Data Type Nested Table Mapping").This chapter includes the following section:
For information on how to configure TopLink mappings options common to two or more mapping types, see Chapter 121, "Configuring a Mapping".
For information on how to create TopLink mappings, see Chapter 120, "Creating a Mapping".
Table 44-1 lists the configurable options for an object-relational data type array mapping.
