Abstract
There has been a growing acceptance of the object-oriented data model as the basis of next generation database management systems (DBMSs). Both pure object-oriented DBMS (OODBMSs) and object-relational DBMS (ORDBMSs) have been developed based on object-oriented concepts. Object-relational DBMS, in particular, extend the SQL language by incorporating all the concepts of the object-oriented data model. A large number of products for both categories of DBMS is today available. In particular, all major vendors of relational DBMSs are turning their products into ORDBMSs [Nori, 1996].
