 INTRODUCTION

Object-oriented databases (OODB) and object-relational databases

(ORDB) are two distinct approaches to managing and organizing data.
They both aim to bridge the gap between the object-oriented
programming paradigm and database management systems, but they
differ in their implementation and scope.
Object-Oriented Database (OODB)
In an object-oriented database, data is represented in the form
of objects, similar to how it is modeled in object-oriented
programming languages. These objects encapsulate both data
and the methods that operate on that data. OODBs are
designed to handle complex data structures, relationships, and
hierarchies more naturally than traditional relational databases.
Encapsulation: Encapsulation is the bundling of data (attributes) and the
methods (procedures or functions) that operate on that data into a single
unit known as an object.

Inheritance: Inheritance is a mechanism that allows a new class (subclass

or derived class) to inherit properties and behaviors (attributes and
methods) from an existing class (base class or parent class).

Complex Relationships: Object-Oriented Database (OODB) excels in

representing intricate relationships between objects, allowing for the
modeling of complex data structures and dependencies.

Query Language: A language used in OODBs for querying and

manipulating object-oriented databases.
 Object-Relational Database (ORDB)

Object-relational databases, on the other hand, aim to enhance

traditional relational databases by incorporating some aspects of the
object-oriented model. They extend the relational model to handle
complex data types and relationships more effectively.
 Key features of ORDB

Complex Data Types: ORDBs support complex data types, such as

arrays, nested tables, and user-defined types, allowing for more
flexibility in representing data.
Inheritance and Polymorphism: Some ORDBs introduce features like
inheritance and polymorphism, bringing object-oriented concepts into
the relational model.
Structured Query Language (SQL): ORDBs still primarily use SQL for
querying, making them familiar to developers already accustomed to
relational databases.
Compatibility: ORDBs maintain compatibility with existing relational
databases, enabling a smoother transition for applications with
established relational data.
