Equality of dbObjects

tweeks

Are dbobjects ever equal?

I did a test, creating two labels that are exact copies of eachother: same lpp, same xy, etc. Watch what happens:

> forall(prop label1->? get(label1 prop) == get(label2 prop))
 t
> label1 == label2 
 nil 


Looks like equality is not implemented for labels?

    No, they are never equal and I wouldn't expect them to be equal. If I changed one of those two labels, I would not want the other one to change. When you copied the first, you requested a separate object.

    If the variable label1 and the variable label2 referenced the same physical label object, then they would be equal. But by using copy, you requested a second object.
