Hi.
I have a domain model that I want to reuse it for multiple databases.
the problem is that each database have a different schema, and maybe a different server (Ms sql, oracle, access...)
but all the databases are related to the same domain (accounting).
Now, I know that an ORM tool (specialy NHibernate) will eanble us to develop a domain model without any knowledge about the database. the mapping file is the only one who know about the database and the domain model also. So each time I want to work with another database, a different mapping file is required, but the domain model still unchanged.
So in theory, I should have no problem with my desgin choice (with NHibernate...), but in reality i have one problem (and maybe more, I don't know yet): how I can work with the different Id's in the legacy databases ? one database will work with Id's of type interger (auto generated), another onw will have a GUI Id's ...
I am obliged to define a new Id property in my domain model for each database type. how I can solve this problem ?
