ODBMS

Objectivity has emerged as the market leader in high performance databases for sophisticated applications. An object database is defined as a database in which information is represented in the form of objects, rather than records or as tables, rows and columns. The objects can be manipulated only by using the methods or functions defined for the class to which the object belongs. The system to manage these objects is called an object -oriented database management system, or ODBMS.

Objects are organized into a type hierarchy and subtypes inherit the characteristics of their supertypes. object-oriented database management systems, or ODBMS have evolved to supersede relational database structures as a much more efficient, scalable data format, particularly for large, complex requirements. A relational database imposes its own model of how the data is structured and accessed. A program using a relational database needs to explicitly convert data back and forth between the programming language's representation and the database's representation.

An object-oriented database management system or ODBMS directly stores instances of the programming language's classes, so no conversion is needed. Eliminating the mapping layer needed to store data can save you 35% or more of your development effort and increase application performance. Object-oriented database management systems or OODBMS are highly suited to the object oriented programming environments popular today.

Objectivity/DB is a suite of object-oriented database management solution tools (ODBMS) designed to take advantage of the power of the object-oriented paradigm. Objectivity additionally offers options, training, consulting, and support services. Objectivity/DB has C++, Java and Smalltalk application programming interfaces. It also supports SQL and XML. It includes design for object databases and administration tools that plug in to an Eclipse framework.
