About this title

Synopsis

An in-depth guide to object databases from researchers and developers in the field To build robust databases that are easier to maintain and contain less code, object databases use object-oriented languages such as C++ and Java along with object technologies. This book provides a comprehensive guide to object data management and explores some of the latest topics in the field such as JDBC and SQLJ support in object-relational databases, XML for data access, and database modeling using UML. Readers will also find a practical discussion of object data management and a number of detailed case studies showing first-hand experiences using the latest tools and products including GemStone, O2, Objectivity/DB, ObjectStore, Oracle and Poet. A companion Web site contains links to object-oriented database software applications, resources, and source code The promise of object databases has yet to be met, but with new technologies like Java, XML, and UML, they are starting to get a second look. Of particular interest is the combination of object and relational databases.

From the Back Cover

Take a tour with leading researchers and developers for a practical look at object databases. Whether you currently work with or are thinking of moving to object databases, Chaudhri and Zicari provide a collection of real-world case studies and examples that demonstrate how some of the world's leading companies and research institutions are leveraging Java, XML, and Object Relational Systems to build robust databases. Starting with a comprehensive introduction to object and object-relational databases, the book then offers detailed discussions on some of the latest topics in the field such as JDBC and SQLJ support in relational databases and database modeling using UML. You'll also learn about object-to-relational mapping tools, architectural issues that influence performance, and the issues of complexity and scale.How popular tools from Computer Associates, eXcelon, GemStone, Objectivity, Oracle, Versant, and Poet were used in the case studies is also discussed.
