Hi Jean,

It depends on what you are doing with entity B.
If you are not modifying any B objects, then you don't need to do

I am modifying them. I am inserting them, then modifying them. Most
of the time, they are saved along with instances of entity A. But
in one app of mine, they must not be saved.
Then delete them. If you delete an inserted object, it will not be
saved.
If you are modifying A and B objects, then you can't just commit A
changes because both A and B objects must be part of the same editing
context. If this is what you need to do, then i think you might to
reconsider your model.
Rethinking the emodel is not an option here, I am affraid.
You are going to have to re-think something!
Basically, what gets committed is determined by the editing
context you
call saveChanges() on. This is what determines the DB transaction.
Sure. I was wondering if the best strategy would be to override
saveObject() in a subclass of EOEditingContext in order to skip
entity B's inserts an updates.
Would that entail violating EOF commandments?
Here is what I would do. Go outside. Find a large road. Wait for
a bus or large truck. Lie down in front of it. You will find this
is quicker and less painful. :-)
