Abstract
It is often necessary to develop database applications with no prior knowledge of the structure of the database. Such applications may be referred to as generic applications, and often they can be required to manipulate multiple (possibly heterogenous) databases across a network. We explore the problems of developing generic applications for the current standard of object-oriented databases, and describe the properties that are needed to build a truly generic application.
