FDO Concepts

Before you can work properly with the FDO API, you need to have a good understanding of its basic, underlying concepts. This chapter defines the essential constructs and dynamics that comprise the FDO API. The definitions of these constructs and dynamics are grouped into two interdependent categories:

• Data Concepts. Definitions of the data constructs that comprise the FDO API
• Operational Concepts. Definitions of the operations that are used to manage and manipulate the data.
