/**
* Defines strategies for fetching data from the database.
* The EAGER strategy is a requirement on the persistence provider runtime that data must
* be eagerly fetched. The LAZY strategy is a hint to the persistence provider runtime that
* data should be fetched lazily when it is first accessed. The implementation is permitted to
* eagerly fetch data for which the LAZY strategy hint has been specified. In particular, lazy
* fetching might only be available for Basic mappings for which property-based access is used.
