Boris --

I assume this "object loading view" would result in a new VIEW in the database
schema that is contains an INNER JOIN with the related tables with appropriate
join conditions for the relationships.

So the above example simply means that columns from the Job, JobSheet,
and Address tables are added to the view implicitly rather than explicitly?

Please correct me if I'm not following.
