The beauty of OpenAccess is that you can work with the model you're most comfortable with: objects and .NET code or tables with SQL. For example, you can create a simple "Customer" object and OpenAccess creates a database and table automatically. This process of representing an object model in database form is called "Forward Mapping". All that is needed, once you have ORM-enabled the project, is to decorate your classes with the Persistent attribute. In this walk-through we will set the Persistent attribute by hand, while in later exercises we'll use the OpenAccess wizards to do that for us.
