Object-Oriented Database Design Clearly Explained

"If you or your company is heavily invested in a relational database system, someone somewhere has probably told you that you should consider going object-oriented - whatever that means.

The lack of an accepted standard only adds to the uncertainty.

This book will help you make sense of the conflicting theories and vendor claims about object-oriented database systems."--BOOK JACKET.
