Pascal Robert 6.1 17 Good chance that you are already using another Web development tool, and good chance that you have to fetch and update your data with plain-old SQL calls. While knowing SQL calls is helpful in a WebObjects context, you must not think about them. With EOF, you fetch and update your data with Java methods and EOF will take care of translating your code to the corresponding SQL calls for your RDBMS system. What you do need is good database design concepts, since EOF can be very picky if your database model is not done right.
