Does ODE require a database? Which databases and versions does ODE support?

A. ODE does not depend directly on any specific database or persistence mechanism. Instead, ODE relies on a set of data access object (“DAO”) interfaces that encapsulate the behaviors of a persistence layer. The ODE distribution includes a DAO implementation for JDBC databases built using OpenJPA. This DAO implementation can support most common relational databases. Schemas suitable for MySQL and Derby are provided. Relational databases lacking transaction or binary large object (“BLOB”) capabilities are not supported. The DAO interfaces can readily be implemented to support alternative persistence mechanisms (e.g. JDO), XML datastores, or direct filesystem-based persistence.
