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

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.

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

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.

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.
