Readings in Object-Oriented Database Systems (The Morgan Kaufmann Series in Data Management Systems)
This comprehensive collection is a survey of research in object-oriented databases, offering a substantive overview of the field, section introductions, and over 40 research papers presented in their original scope and detail. The balanced selection of articles presents a confluence of ideas from both the language and database research communities that have contributed to the object-oriented paradigm. The editors develop a general definition and model for object-oriented databases and relate significant research efforts to this framework. Further, the collection explores the fundamental notions behind object-oriented databases, semantic data models, implementation of object-oriented systems, transaction processing, interfaces, and related approaches. Research and theory are balanced by applications to CAD systems, programming environments, and office information systems.

Introduction to Object-Oriented Databases provides the first unified and coherent presentation of the essential concepts and techniques of object-oriented databases. It consolidates the results of research and development in the semantics and implementation of a full spectrum of database facilities for object-oriented systems, including data model, query, authorization, schema evolution, storage structures, query optimization, transaction management, versions, composite objects, and integration of a programming language and a database system.
The book draws on the author's Orion project at MCC, currently the most advanced object-oriented database system, and places this work in a larger context by using relational database systems and other object-oriented systems for comparison.
Won Kim is Director of the Object-Oriented and Distributed Systems Laboratory at Microelectronics and Computer Technology Corporation (MCC) in Austin, Texas.

Object-oriented database development is one of the best ways to build software for many advanced applications. In this book Professor Embley shows how to model an application and systematically transform an application model into code for a database system. Aimed at both university students and sophisticated practicing professionals, Object Database Development presents the fundamental concepts and principles needed for developing advanced database applications, and it shows how to apply these principles successfully. This book emphasizes application development for object-relational, object-oriented, and active databases as well as for relational databases, making it suitable for both introductory and advanced courses on database application development. FEATURES Takes an object-oriented approach to modeling and developing database applications. Provides a seamless way to move from analysis through specification and design into implementation. Focuses on concepts and principles that provide a sound theoretical foundation for database application development. Presents several case studies (Oracle, UniSQL, O2, ObjectStore, and Ode), that show how to turn theory into practice.

Object-oriented database management systems are growing in popularity, thanks to changing corporate needs and the emergence of several viable products. However, while most database professionals have had at least some exposure to the basic concepts of object-oriented programming, information relating specifically to object-oriented databases has remained hard to come by.
Object-Oriented Database Design Clearly Explained remedies this, providing developers and administrators with a ground-up understanding of the logical design of object-oriented databases. Focusing on the principles of the object paradigm while noting the particularities of specific products, this book will give readers the know-how required to produce effective designs in any environment.
Key Features
* Equips the reader with a sound understanding of the object paradigm and all key concepts, illustrating its points with three in-depth case * Presents product- and platform-neutral guidelines and advice, teaching readers the underlying object-oriented design principles they will need to apply regardless of the specific technology adopted
* Details today's OODBMS standards and the variety of approaches taken by current products
* Serves as a companion volume to Relational Database Design Clearly Explained<$>, providing parallel examples that help to clarify relational and object-oriented data models

Nowadays, newly developed software packages are often obsolete already at the time of their introduction. Object-oriented software development is a possible—if not the only—solution to this dilemma: applications are modeled as software objects that describe the properties and the behavior of real-world entities. Such objects are encapsulated, in that they hide—behind a publicly known interface—the complexity of their internal data structures and behaviors. This enables objects to be used in a wide range of program packages without needing to know the details of their internal implementation.
Linking object-oriented modeled applications with a database places special demands on a database management system and development environment when the usual performance and semantics losses are to be avoided. This book provides a detailed description of the object model of the Caché postrelational database.
This second, revised and expanded edition includes the many new features of Caché 5. There is a comprehensive description of the new Caché Studio with its improvements for developing and debugging applications as well as a whole new chapter about XML and SOAP based Web Services. The chapters about Java, ActiveX and the SQL manager have undergone a complete revision.
The accompanying CD-ROM contains the complete associated software as well as a searchable PDF version of the book.

Building Scalable Database Applications: Object-Oriented Design, Architectures, and Implementation is a comprehensive and authoritative guide to building client/server applications by developing a stable and reusable business model. The business and database models illustrated in this book both address the unique challenge of manipulating object storage and retrieval from a developer's point of view.Software engineers and programmers need this information to lead their development teams toward businesswide distributed software systems. This book demonstrates the pragmatic approach of integrating systems that are currently in use into a cost-effective and time-saving object-oriented system. The approach allows for the business model and the database schema to operate independently so that they can evolve individually, allowing them to be easily reused and maintained. Highlights include: llustration of the design for reusable business components Maximization of reuse and openness Application of inheritance techniques to database design Migration from legacy and relational systems to object orientation without discarding your investments
This is the first book to thoroughly cover scalable database applications; Building Scalable Database Applications focuses on building independent models that are free from all database and user-interface aspects.
