1. A method, implemented at a computer system that includes one or more processors, the method comprising:
- retrieving a data object;
serializing the data object; and
preserving relationships associated with the data object by attaching key information to the data object, and wherein a retrieval of a relationship varies according to whether a value included in the key information is null or non-null.

Abstract
Systems and methods that enable relationship information to be carried along with data objects when serializing/deserializing data objects among application tiers. A tracking component tracks information on relationships associated with a data object, and further enables subsequent change processing on the data object'"'"'s relationship information. Accordingly, relationship information can be carried along with the data object, such that database operation can be performed without requirement of additional information from the database (e.g., foreign key information that is part of associated graphs).

11. A hardware storage device having instructions stored thereon, the instructions configured to, in response to execution by one or more computing devices, cause operations including:
-
retrieving a data object; and attaching key information to the data object via serialization, wherein the key information facilitates preserving relationships associated with the data object, and wherein a retrieval of a relationship varies according to whether a value included in the key information is null or non-null. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A computer implemented system comprising at least one processor and at least one hardware storage device having stored thereon instructions executable by the at least one processor to:
-
retrieve a data object; and attach key information to the data object via serialization, wherein the key information facilitates preserving relationships associated with the data object, and wherein a retrieval of a relationship varies according to whether a value included in the key information is null or non-null. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
