Object Databases

Abstract

Object-oriented database technology addresses the limitations of relational and extended relational technologies in managing complex objects that exhibit complex behavior. The relational technology has no good way of representing or managing such persistent objects. Object-oriented database technology is also addressing the problem of the mismatch between the dominating software technology, which is object-oriented, and the dominating database technology that is relational or object-relational at best. This specifically applies to the so called impedance mismatch between data and programming languages.
