From the Publisher:

Although virtually every major database vendor adds objects to their database engines, their approaches vastly differ. Inside the Database Object Model: explores the history and architecture of database system and the evolution of object technology; examines the differences between relational database approach and the approach to object technology; describes how major vendors approach basic object constructs, including encapsulation, abstract data types, polymorphisms, and aggregate objects; describes how inheritance can be used with database objects; outlines how to couple data with behavior using models; demonstrates how C++ applications store data in a relational database; identifies how Oracle, the world's leading relational database, extends SQL to exist with objects; enables readers to design and implement real-world objects using object/relational technology. This book provides excellent transitional advice for database administrators, database designers and analysts, and applications programmers.
