6:07 PM: worst paragraph ever:

"A relational schema is organized as a set of tables. A table is usually defined for each entity in the application domain you are modeling. When you design an object model, an entity is represented by a class. Each table consists of rows and columns. A row contains the data for a specific instance of an entity being modeled. A column contains the values for one of the attributes of the entity. A table cell is the intersection of a particular row and column in the table, and it contains the value of an attribute for a specific entity instance."

6:24 PM: cool cool cool:

"public static void queryCustomers(PersistenceManager pm,
                                  String city, String state) {
    Extent customerExtent = pm.getExtent(Customer.class, true);     [1]
    String filter = "address.city == city && state == address.state";     [2]
    Query query = pm.newQuery(customerExtent, filter);     [3]
    query.declareParameters("String city, String state");     [4]
    query.setOrdering(     [5]

    Collection result = (Collection) query.execute(city, state);     [6]
    Iterator iter = result.iterator(  );

        Customer customer = (Customer) iter.next(  );
        Address address = customer.getAddress(  );
