Object Oriented Database vs Relational Database

Examples

Benchmarks can be a useful mechanism for comparing functionality and performance, but even more useful is to examine actual users, especially those in production. Towards this end, we'll briefly review several users, in a variety of industries and application domains. For each we explain what the application is, what benefits it receives from the ODBMS, and what experience it has had in production. Example domains include: Manufacturing (Cimskil, Exxon), Scientific and Research (CERN, Sloan Digital Sky Survey), Telecom Real-Time and Network Management (Iridium, QUALCOMM, Marconi, COM21, Nortel, Sprint), Financial Services (Citibank, Decision•ism), Document and Process Management (Payback Systems, Daikin, Intraspect), Process Control (Fisher-Rosemount, SEH, NEC), Data Warehousing (CUNA Mutual), Military/Transportation/Environmental Logistics and Control (BBN, Kintetsu, Siemens), and Energy (American Meter, Exxon). These also cover Asia, North America, and Europe, as well as a variety of different end user industries, and different technology applications, different and mixed platforms (Unix, Linux and Windows), a variety of different and mixed languages (Java, C++, Smalltalk), chosen from more than 150,000 deployed user licenses.
