This well-received book, now in its third edition, is a comprehensive presentation of the fundamentals of object-oriented database systems (OODBMS). It provides extensive coverage of the different approaches to object data management, including the three major approaches--semantic database systems approach, object-oriented programming language extension approach, and the relational extension approach--as well as the various types of architectures of object-oriented database systems. The book discusses all recent developments in this field, such as the emergence of Java as the dominant object-oriented programming language--resulting in upcoming OODBMS products such as Ozone--and the provision of object-oriented database features in object-relational database systems (ORDBMS) products such as Oracle 9i and DB2. The new edition provides an extensive discussion of PostgreSQL, a popular open source object-oriented database system which has emerged as a viable alternative to expensive commercial database systems such as Oracle. The book is extensively illustrated, which enables students to develop a firm grasp of the underlying concepts. The chapter-end exercises help in testing the students' comprehension of the fundamental principles. The book is primarily meant for students of IT-related programmes having courses in database systems. Computer professionals will also find the book immensely useful.
The first complete, hands-on guide to choosing, implementing, and managing the right object-oriented database for your organization If you are responsible for selecting and implementing an object-oriented database in your organization, you need a tool to help you evaluate your options and make the right selection. And now here it is: The Object Database Handbook-the first complete, hands-on guide for anyone planning a move to object-oriented database technology. Doug Barry, "Databases" columnist with Object Magazine, provides you with a rational, systematic approach to selecting, implementing, and managing the object-oriented database products best suited to your company's unique computing needs. The book covers all the bases, providing clear, step-by-step guidance on how to: * Match your organization's computing needs against available products * Form a selection team * Implement your database solutions so they work right the first time * Prototype your system * Design or convert data to the new database * Rework an existing relational model into an object model Also, the book provides dozens of valuable checklists that make it easy to identify your needs and match them with the right choices. And several full-scale case studies are developed throughout the book that help you arrive quickly at a practical understanding of the concepts discussed.
This volume conveys the important facts and concepts business professionals need in order to understand the role of object databases in today's rapidly evolving computing environments. Covering all aspects of the essentials of object database technology without requiring advanced technical knowledge, this book makes an excellent introductory reference for database experts and non-experts alike.
Upgrading Relational Databases with Objects presents a clear-headed overview of how to use object-oriented (OO) technology to improve existing relational databases. This practical how-to guide starts with the basics of OO and works its way up to examples and what-if scenarios that illustrate how OO technology is, should be and should not be integrated with relational databases. It draws a keen distinction between applications that can be best performed with each technology. The book describes such object technologies as OLE and CORBA and what their impacts will be on relational database connectivity and provides a brief tutorial on relational and object concepts, it then moves on to advanced object/relational, SQL3, OO database technology and the Internet.
This book is for leading-edge technologists and executives responsible for data processing, office automation, and computer-integrated manufacturing. It discusses the concepts that underpin object-oriented approaches and presents a complete range of implementation possibilities. Emphasizes object-oriented database products and covers ONTOS, one of the commercially available DBMS.
A comprehensive introduction to object-oriented concepts as applied to databases and knowledge-based systems. The principles of semantic data modelling are described in depth and this is followed by a comprehensive description of the application of object-oriented techniques in this area. Separate chapters are devoted to implementation aspects such as persistence and concurrency.
Written by ODGM's C++ representative, this pragmatic guidebook is the first comprehensive introduction to programming object-oriented databases with OQL. It offers comparisons with SQL, with which readers are already familiar, as a bridge to understanding OQL and as a means of contrasting object-oriented versus relational database development.

Object-oriented database management systems (OODBMSs) have generated significant excitement in the database community in the last decade. This interest stems from a real need for data management support for what are called "advanced application areas" that are not well-served by relational technology. The case for object-oriented technology has been made on three fronts. First is the data modeling requirements of the new applications. Some of the more important shortcomings of the relational systems in meeting the requirements of these applications include: 1. Relational systems deal with a single object type: a relation. A relation is used to model different real-world objects, but the semantics of this association is not part of the database. Furthermore, the attributes of a relation may come only from simple and fixed data type domains (numeric, character, and, sometimes, date types). Advanced applications require explicit storage and manipulation of more abstract types (e.g., images, design documents) and the ability for the users to define their own application-specific types. Therefore, a rich type system supporting user defined abstract types is required. 2. The relational model structures data in a relatively simple and flat manner. Non traditional applications require more complex object structures with nested objects (e.g., a vehicle object containing an engine object).
First published in 1992, this volume explores the use of object oriented methods which is forecast to grow rapidly, with their flexibility and facility to overcome some of the inadequacies of relational databases. This timely book reviews their potential in the data management context. It examines the impact of object oriented techniques on the practice of data management including data analysis, database design, database administration and DBMS operation. The main emphasis of the book is on practical experience of developing and applying 00 methods in the most popular application areas. Its four parts covering the background to object technology, the products, the applications and the implications.
