I read all tutorials and examples, and master-detail relationship is not covered anywhere. How do you guys do it? What is the idiomatic "oodb" way of doing master-detail? Let's say we have orders and orders may have several items in them. Obviously class order must be persistent. But what about class order-item? Should it be persistent too? Or is it just a normal class that you save into list in persistent slot items of class order?
Next question. How do you search orders that have say particular item? Do you create a computed index on order class? Or do you make item class persistent and mark its name as indexed?
