Comparing Objectivity and Versant for the Stars application
// open the federated database
fdHandle.open("starsDB",oocUpdate);
// create the first database in the federation
// (delete if it already exists)
if (dbHandle1.exist(fdHandle, "STARS_DB_1")) {
dbHandle1 = new(fdHandle) ooDBObj("STARS_DB_1");
// create the second database in the federation
// (delete if it already exists)
if (dbHandle2.exist(fdHandle, "STARS_DB_2")) {
dbHandle2 = new(fdHandle) ooDBObj("STARS_DB_2);
// open the session database
::dom->("starsdb1",NULL);
// connect to the second database
No API call to delete an existing DB?
Separate databases, no federation
