Talk:Data access layer

Latest comment: 22 days ago by Cryptonomicant

Shouldn't this article be merged with Database abstraction layer, or at least reference it? "Six by nine. Forty two." 13:14, 2 January 2011 (UTC) — Preceding unsigned comment added by Falcor84 (talkcontribs)

I think so, especially since this has errors and definitely has omissions. Sam Tomato (talk) 05:33, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
I revised the article to try to give it a clearer scope distinct from Database abstraction layer and Data access object. My view is that a data access layer is the broader architectural boundary for accessing data, while a database abstraction layer is more specifically about abstracting differences between database systems, and a data access object is a particular object-oriented pattern. I also tried to reduce the previous conflation with ORM-style examples by treating ORM as one implementation pattern rather than the definition. Happy for others to improve or trim.

ASP.NET

edit

This currently says "This acronym is prevalently used in Microsoft ASP.NET environments.". I will remove "ASP.NET" from that; there is nothing that limits its use to ASP.NET. Sam Tomato (talk) 05:36, 21 August 2017 (UTC)Reply
