This post inspired me to give it a shot.I have a RDMBS data model and a corresponding Java domain model mapped together using a Hibernate pers Thu, 20 Jan 2011 09:16:01 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/a-hybrid-rdmbs-alfresco-model/m-p/249789#M202919 eddie 2011-01-20T09:16:01Z Re: A hybrid RDMBS/Alfresco model? https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/a-hybrid-rdmbs-alfresco-model/m-p/249790#M202920 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>To answer my own question: The proposed hybrid approach was abandoned due to the complexity involved in splitting up data and it's metadata into different locations.
