Thoughts from ADO

I was reading through ADO.Net recently, and two ideas from it might be good to add to SimpleOrm.

The first is DataSet.GetChanges, which produces a dataset which only has changed records.  It does a copy, but we could easily do a PurgeCleanRecords.  The point being that if a dataset is returned from a remote middle tier, we could purge out any unchanged records for efficiency.  Minor point but easy to implement.

The second is AcceptChanges.  What this does is explicitly mark a record non-dirty, and copies fields to the optimistic values.  It would be called by SessionJDBC after reading or updating records.  Might be a slightly cleaner approach to our current handing of dirtyness.

(SimpleOrm was conceived independently of ADO.Net, but there are similarities and I am always happy to pinch good ideas.)

Regards,

Anthony
