Extending the Storage Layer
The Storage Layer provides interaction with a storage medium using the Data Access Object (DAO) implementation pattern. You can use DAO to extend the Storage Layer.
The Storage Layer supports the storage of various types of data in any number of storage repositories. Standard configuration of the Storage Layer is normally sufficient to meet most content storage requirements.
If necessary, you can extend the functionality of the Storage Layer by storing existing types of items differently and/or by implementing storage of a new item type. This section provides a basic overview of the extensibility of the Storage Layer.
