SUCCEEDING WITH OBJECT DATABASES:
A PRACTICAL LOOK AT TODAY'S IMPLEMENTATIONS WITH JAVA™ AND XML
This book provides a comprehensive
guide to Object Data Management and explores some of the latest topics
in the field such as JDBC and SQLj support in Object-Relational Databases,
XML for data access, and database modeling using UML. Readers will also
find a practical discussion of Object Data Management and a number of
detailed case studies showing firsthand experiences using the latest tools
and products from vendors such as Computer Associates, eXcelon, GemStone,
Objectivity, Oracle, Poet, and Versant.
