When mapping a relational database to Java one needs to use an O/R mapping layer of some type. Most work best, and most consistently, if the underlying...
We as well often use user-meaningless keys. For example Person (id) is the system "id". Another fact, Person has Employee (number) is another fact which is...

The RMAP routine does not create derived columns (virtual columns). I assume you mean columns that are not actually part of the table as such, but can be...
