This paper is an overview of the issues that arise from implementing object persistence with a relational database. The basis for this paper is our recent experience with Object-Oriented projects that used relational database technology. Download Now
There is often a great deal of confusion in determining whether an object database management system (ODBMS) is right for you. Most of this confusion can be resolved by focusing on your application's requirements. In those situations where the application requires the very clear advantages of an ODBMS, choosing which ODBMS becomes a continuation of the exercise of analyzing those application requirements.

Since the SQL Access Group created the Call Level Interface, ODBC has become the most ubiquitous method for connecting to relational database sources. ODBC was developed to allow programmers to access relational data in a uniform manner, regardless of the database backend. ODBC translates those generic commands into the specific esoteric commands of the database backend, so the quality of the driver directly determines the performance of the database connectivity layer.
