Object Database
An object database or object-oriented database is a database management system in which information is represented in the form of objects as used in object-oriented programming. Object databases are different from relational databases which are table-oriented. A third type, object–relational databases, is a hybrid of both approaches. Object databases have been considered since the early 1980s. Overview Object-oriented database management systems (OODBMSs) also called ODBMS (Object Database Management System) combine database capabilities with object-oriented programming language capabilities. OODBMSs allow object-oriented programmers to develop the product, store them as objects, and replicate or modify existing objects to make new objects within the OODBMS. Because the database is integrated with the programming language, the programmer can maintain consistency within one environment, in that both the OODBMS and the programming language will use the same model of representat ...

Object-Oriented Model
Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a programming paradigm based on the concept of ''Object (computer science), objects''. Objects can contain data (called Field (computer science), fields, Attribute (computing), attributes or Property (programming), properties) and have actions they can perform (called Procedure (computer science), procedures or method (computing), methods and implemented in source-code, code). In OOP, computer programs are designed by making them out of objects that interact with one another. Many of the most widely used programming languages (such as C++, Java (programming language), Java, and Python (programming language), Python) support object-oriented programming to a greater or lesser degree, typically as part of multi-paradigm, multiple paradigms in combination with others such as imperative programming and declarative programming. Significant object-oriented languages include Ada (programming language), Ada, ActionScript, C++, Common Lisp, C Sharp (p ...

Objective-C
Objective-C is a high-level general-purpose, object-oriented programming language that adds Smalltalk-style message passing (messaging) to the C programming language. Originally developed by Brad Cox and Tom Love in the early 1980s, it was selected by NeXT for its NeXTSTEP operating system. Due to Apple macOS’s direct lineage from NeXTSTEP, Objective-C was the standard language used, supported, and promoted by Apple for developing macOS and iOS applications (via their respective application programming interfaces ( APIs), Cocoa and Cocoa Touch) from 1997, when Apple purchased NeXT until the introduction of the Swift language in 2014. Objective-C programs developed for non-Apple operating systems or that are not dependent on Apple's APIs may also be compiled for any platform supported by GNU GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) or LLVM/ Clang. Objective-C source code 'messaging/implementation' program files usually have filename extensions, while Objective-C 'header/ ...

InterSystems Caché
InterSystems Caché ( ) is a commercial operational database management system from InterSystems, used to develop software applications for healthcare management, banking and financial services, government, and other sectors. Customer software can use the database with object and SQL code. Caché also allows developers to directly manipulate its underlying data structures: hierarchical arrays known as M technology. Description Internally, Caché stores data in multidimensional arrays capable of carrying hierarchically structured data. These are the same “global” data structures used by the MUMPS programming language, which influenced the design of Caché, and are similar to those used by MultiValue (also known as PICK) systems. In most applications, however, object and/or SQL access methods are used. Caché ObjectScript, Caché Basic or SQL can be used to develop application business logic. External interfaces include native object binding for C++, Java, EJB, Activ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Informix
Informix is a product family within IBM's Information Management division that is centered on several relational database management system (RDBMS) and multi-model database offerings. The Informix products were originally developed by Informix Corporation, whose Informix Software subsidiary was acquired by IBM in 2001. In April 2017, IBM delegated active development and support to HCL Technologies for 15 years, with a number of IBM employees working on Informix also moving to HCL. As part of this arrangement IBM will continue to market and sell it as IBM Informix to their customers, with HCLTech able to market and sell it as HCL Informix. The current version of Informix is 14.10 and forms the basis of several product editions with variation in capacity and functionality. The Informix database has been used in many high transaction rate OLTP applications in the retail, finance, energy and utilities, manufacturing and transportation sectors. More recently the server has be ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Object Design, Incorporated
Object Design, Incorporated (often called ODI) was a software company founded by Daniel Weinreb in 1988 which developed and commercialized an object database called ObjectStore. Object Design was founded by several former Symbolics employees, including Daniel Weinreb, and was based in Burlington, Massachusetts. Its ObjectStore object-oriented database shipped in 1990. In 1994, ODI was listed as No. 1 on '' Inc.'' magazine's list of fastest-growing private companies in the U.S. A major early customer was Telstra, which used it to map toll-free telephone numbers to an end point close to the caller, for example a local taxi company or chain restaurant. ODI's went public in 1996, and was listed on NASDAQ as ODIS.Find The Company, "Object Design Inc. (ODIS) Initial Public Offering" http://ipo.findthecompany.com/l/444/Object-Design-Inc In 1999, ODI shipped its eXcelon XML application development environment, which it marketed as an "integration server". In January 2000, ODI w ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

ObjectStore
ObjectStore is a commercial object database, a specialized type of NoSQL database designed to handle data created by applications that use object-oriented programming techniques, avoiding the object–relational mapping overhead required when using object-oriented data with a relational database. It is inspired by the Statice database originally developed at Symbolics. ObjectStore is innovative in its use of the C++ language to make database access transparent. Objects can be created in a database by overloading the operator new(). In this way, one can create new C++ objects directly in the database yet these persistent objects look and behave just like normal C++ objects. Data is mapped into memory as operating system pages. When data is referenced in a different page, by making use of signals, ObjectStore traps the pointer exception and transparently brings objects in from the database by bringing in the required page(s). In addition, by use of a technique called swi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
