Interface Session

public interface Session
Session is the entry point for a connection to a database. The meta data (schema) for the session is available via getSchema(). To create new entites (i.e. database entries) call createEntity(String), providing an entity type name. To retrive existing entities use on of the 'find' methods ( find(String,Object...), findNotNull(String,Object...), etc.) or use a select to execute a query to retrieve alist of entities. To delete an entity call delete(Entity).
All changes are persisted to the database when you call commit(). Prior to commit() no databaselocks are held with exception of read locks when an entity is explicitly or transparently (re)loaded. You may also rollback() all changes. The set of changed entities could be requested by calling getChanged(). This will return an empty collection if hasChanges() delivers false.
A session may be read-only, then every modification will be rejected.
Schema changes may be synced to the database.
Most methods may throw the (unchecked) ORException.
