Object–relational database. An object–relational database (ORD), or object–relational database management system (ORDBMS), is a database management system (DBMS) similar to a relational database, but with an object-oriented database model: objects, classes and inheritance are directly supported in database schemas and in the query language.
An object database or object-oriented database is a database management system in which information is represented in the form of objects as used in object-oriented programming. Object databases are different from relational databases which are table-oriented. A third type, object–relational databases, is a hybrid of both approaches.
This is a comparison of object–relational database management systems (ORDBMSs). Each system has at least some features of an object–relational database; they vary widely in their completeness and the approaches taken. The following tables compare general and technical information; please see the individual products' articles for further ...
This is a comparison of notable object database management systems, showing what fundamental object database features are implemented natively. Caché ObjectScript (dynamic language), Basic. Java/.NET object mapping supported. SQL subset. Object notation allowed. Supports embedded SQL, dynamic SQL and xDBC access. MUMPS ancestry.
A database object is a structure for storing, managing and presenting application- or user-specific data in a database. Depending on the database management system (DBMS), many different types of database objects can exist. [1][2] The following is a list of the most common types of database objects found in most relational databases (RDBMS ...
Object–relational mapping. Object–relational mapping (ORM, O/RM, and O/R mapping tool) in computer science is a programming technique for converting data between a relational database and the memory (usually the heap) of an object-oriented programming language. This creates, in effect, a virtual object database that can be used from within ...
In the 1990s, the object-oriented programming paradigm was applied to database technology, creating a new database model known as object databases. This aims to avoid the object–relational impedance mismatch – the overhead of converting information between its representation in the database (for example as rows in tables) and its ...
Informix supports a database mode called ANSI mode which supports creating objects with the same name but owned by different users. PostgreSQL and some other databases have support for foreign schemas, which is the ability to import schemas from other servers as defined in ISO/IEC 9075-9 (published as part of SQL:2008 ).
