Objectivity/DB
Objectivity, Inc.
Objectivity/DB is an Object-Oriented Database Management System (ODBMS). Unlike Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS), which impose their own model of how data is structured and accessed, an ODBMS directly stores instances of the programming language's classes. So where an RDBMS has to explicitly convert data back and forth between the programming language's representation and the database's representation, an ODBMS implements direct, persistent storage of structured data objects. No conversion is needed. Eliminating the mapping layer needed to store objects in legacy databases can save you 35% or more of your development effort. It also allows the data to be used by other processes later, or be shared by multiple processes at the same time. Trees and networks of objects can be traversed by following logical pointers from one object to another, just as with normal in-memory data. So programmers have complete freedom to define their own way of structuring and organizing their data.
