How to implement Object Databases in Asp.net MVC

Question

I started my project in Asp.net MVC(c#) & SQL Server 2005.I want to implement Object Databases in my project. While searched in google i found "MongoDb" & db4o

I didn't have enough knowledge in Object Databases & which one best suited for SQL Server 2005.

Please suggest a good example/reference regarding Object Databases implementation in Asp.net MVC application

Answer 1

What exactly do you want to implement? What do you mean saying "Object Databases"? Most likely you just need an ORM (Object-Relational Mapper) tool to work with RDBMS in object-oriented way. You can find list of ORMs here.

Answer 2

I guess you want to get started in MongoDb with asp.net MVC. In that case get the latest community supported drivers for Mongodb from http://github.com/samus/mongodb-csharp and follow this step by step blog post http://odetocode.com/Blogs/scott/archive/2009/10/13/experimenting-with-mongodb-from-c.aspx

Answer 3

For a good introduction to MongoDB with C#, you might look at this series:

• http://mookid.dk/oncode/archives/1057
• http://mookid.dk/oncode/archives/1107
• http://mookid.dk/oncode/archives/1145
• http://mookid.dk/oncode/archives/1165

As for using it from ASP.net MVC, I don't know of any reference-implementation yet.

Have a look at Rob Conery's blog at http://www.wekeroad.com. He's been doing a lot of work lately with MongoDB. His main project which provides an object persistence interface, although it is still very much a work in progress, can be found on github as NoRM.
