Most modern applications are constructed using an array of object-oriented principles. Yet when it comes time to persisting their objects in a database, it’s often necessary to flatten, de-normalize, or otherwise alter them.

This introduces complexity, inefficiency, and can make locating and correcting errors unnecessary difficult. In contrast, building an application on FlexVertex™ lets you take full advantage of our built-in object-oriented capabilities.

For example, our class inheritance and polymorphism features let you design base classes and then extend them as necessary - including deriving sub-classes with multiple parents. You can then query and otherwise interact with data at the class level without needing to alter your information in any way. This removes the object/database impedance mismatch, and greatly simplifies the job of creating high quality software.
