Hi all,

I'm looking for the best (read: most perfomant) way to create a copy of an object graph. For instance, say I have an object A, that has a reference to a B and a C, and it also has a collection of Ds, and Ds have references to Es.

How can I get a copy of all of the database records, but all with new ids. ? In otherwords, a deep clone - the new instance of A should point to a new B, a new C, and a new collection should be created of new Ds with new Es. All records should be identical, but with new Ids.

thanks,
james

You can write an efficient deep copy algorithm on top of the metadata API.

jhouse, you figure out an easy way to do this?
