What started as an innovative view of programming paradigms is catching on in a variety of areas of the computer industry. Perhaps the area that most directly affects the end user is the database arena. Our speaker will present the features of object oriented databases, contrasting these features to those of more traditional relational database products. He will also describe the types of applications where object oriented databases are being used, explaining why this technology is required to satisfy the requirements of these applications. As an example of the technology, he will demonstrate an object database that combines graphical engineering data with hierarchical manufacturing data. Along with that application, he will demonstrate Studio and DBDesigner, Ontologic's object database application development tools. Who: W. Edward White, Ontologic, Inc. Ed White is the Regional Manager for Ontologic, a supplier of object oriented databases for UNIX workstations. Much of Ed's professional career has focused on database issues and products. Prior to joining Ontologic, Ed worked for Oracle Corporation, where he worked with MasterVARs, VARs and system integrators.
