1.1.1 OBJECT DATA BASES
But…..
Why Object Model?
Traditional data models and systems have certain shortcomings
when more complex database applications must be designed and
implemented
e.g., databases for engineering design and manufacturing
(CAD/CAM/CIM), biological and other sciences, telecommunications,
geographic information systems, and multimedia.
Why Object Model?
For example, Multimedia databases must store various types of
multimedia objects, such as video, audio, images, graphics, and
documents.
ODBs were developed for applications that have requirements
requiring more complex structures for stored objects.
Another reason….
Vast increase in the use of object-oriented programming
languages for developing software applications.
Object databases are designed so they can be directly—or
seamlessly—integrated with software that is developed using object-
oriented programming languages.
