Can you explain what you mean by that?

Cache objects are exposed as web services to .NET applications, which is
pretty cool once you get it working.
You get a real object that can Open and Save instances, query records
(really fast) and you which I believe you can subclass from as well.
Download the demo from intersystems.com , it is unrestriced for personal
use and contains the full documentation. The only annoying thing about
cache is the dates. You soon find out what I mean.

In Caché 5 you can use web services to return a Caché Object to .Net
(but as web services are stateless this is read-only so you'd need to
create another web method to pass the object back to Caché) or you can
wrap a query into either a typed or untyped .Net dataset.

You can also create datasets via Odbc.Net.

The Caché Object Factory for full read/write transactional object
access is still a Com object in 5.x.

In 5.1 (currently still in closed beta phase) there will be a managed
..Net provider and a native InterSystems Ado.Net driver.

Which kind of defeats the point of an object database.

That will be nice.
