SDO_DAS_DataFactory::getDataFactory — Get a data factory instance

### Description

SDO_DAS_DataFactory::getDataFactory ( void ) : SDO_DAS_DataFactory
Warning

This function is EXPERIMENTAL. The behaviour of this function, its name, and surrounding documentation may change without notice in a future release of PHP. This function should be used at your own risk.

Static method to get an instance of an SDO_DAS_DataFactory. This instance is initially only configured with the basic SDO types. A Data Access Service is responsible for populating the data factory model and then allowing PHP applications to create SDOs based on the model through the SDO_DataFactory interface. PHP applications should always obtain a data factory from a configured Data Access Service, not through this interface.

### Parameters

None.

### Return Values

Returns an SDO_DAS_DataFactory.
