I've recently been introduced to the concept of object-oriented
database management, but only very superficially.
It seems like an intriguing field, and I'm eager to find out more
about it.
Q: What are the primary advantages/disadvantages when compared to
traditional relational or network DBMSs ?
Q: What types of data manipulation options do you gain by going the
object oriented route ? What do you lose ?
Q: What problem areas lend themselves most readily to object
oriented dbms solutions ?
Q: How does an object oriented query (or report) differ from its
relational counterpart ?
Essentially, I'm brand new to the technology.
I would greatly appreciate any answers/opinions about the above
questions and any pointers to introductory literature.
Please e-mail responses to me here or call me collect at

Thanks,
