Information About

Object-relational Database




Whereas RDBMS or SQL-DBMS products focused on the efficient management of data drawn from a limited set of data types (defined by the relevant language standards), an object-relational DBMS allows software developers to integrate their own types and the methods that apply to them into the DBMS. The goal of ORDBMS technology is to allow developers to raise the level of abstraction at which they view the problem domain.


COMPARISON TO ''RDBMS''


In an RDBMS, it would be fairly common to see SQL statements like this:

CREATE TABLE Customers (
Id CHAR(12) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Surname VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
FirstName VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
DOB DATE NOT NULL
);
