Abstract
A method, apparatus and article of manufacture for the incremental presentation of data from non-object-oriented datastores as datastore persistent objects. A computerized system in accordance with the principles of the present invention includes a 'bridge' that interfaces between an application program and a non-object-oriented database management system to materialize data retrieved from the non-object-oriented database management system as objects that can be manipulated by the application program. The bridge includes a datastore collection comprised of a specified number of datastore persistent objects. The datastore collection manages the datastore persistent objects such that they are added and deleted from the datastore collection.
