The main type of database in use now is the relational
database, but in recent years object oriented databases have become more
popular. Object oriented database
management systems (OODBMS) are systems of data basing in which the information
is represented in the form of objects.
This is an advantage when combined with object oriented programming
languages since the database and language use the same model of
representation. An object contains both
code and data. The object may contain
classes which define the data and methods in the object, but does not include
data or methods in it. Data can be
accessed faster since joins are not needed and an object can be retrieved
directly by following pointers. New
objects can be created and inherit attributed from multiple other objects if
desired, this allows code to be reused quickly and easily. This type of database can apply to BIM
greatly for estimating costs of projects.
Good topic, you explained that there are different types of Database and you explain the advantages in use the Object oriented database management systems. good job

ReplyDeleteYour explanation helped me a great deal while i was trying to understand the definition of a Object Oriented Database. How do you think OODBMS will look like in the future and what do you think it will accomplish or assist?
