Abstract
Systems and methods that translate queries defined by an entity model, to a dialect recognizable by storage provider (e.g., relational store). A bridge component facilitates translation of a rich object structure into flat relational constructs, which can then be executed by a relational store. Accordingly, queries defined by applications in terms of entity concepts can readily be employed in conjunction with relational data stores. Similarly, results obtained from executing the query can be converted back to a form understandable by the application.
