"A Survey of Object-Oriented Databases"
Serge Demeyer
Unpublished

#Abstract:
This paper tries to give an overview of the current object oriented data base (OODB) technology. It is intended for readers that had occasional experience with computer programming, so technical details are avoided whenever possible. Rather, we did try to explain the meaning of certain key-concepts so the reader is able to understand the possibilities and capabilities of the technology. This will be done by sketching the evolution of the ÔdatabaseÕ and Ôprogramming languageÕ communities, each of which has led to some important concepts.At the end an overview of various object oriented databases (both commercial systems and research prototypes) is included.
