My company is moving into some areas that seem a little kinky for relational databases. Can anyone recommend books/articles on Object-Oriented databases? I think I have the basic idea, but I need to look into the details. Thanks in advance. Please reply by e-mail and I'll post a summary if there's interest. -- Mark McWiggins Integration Technologies, Inc.

One of the best books on o-o abstract concepts -- which are much more important than their DBMS "implementation" -- is B.Meyer. Object-oriented software construction. Prentice-Hall, 1988. {Note: This is _not_ a book about Eiffel.} Hope this helps. --Haim Kilov haim@bcr.cc.bellcore.com

No, its not -just- a book on Eiffel. It is also a solid introduction to the concepts, issues, and techniques of object-oriented design. But, I just think that for any book with chapters such as: 5) Basic Elements of Eiffel programming 8) More aspects of Eiffel 15) Implementation: the Eiffel programming environment and Appendixes like: A) Extracts from the Eiffel library B) Eiffel: a quick overview C) Eiffel grammar D) Reserved words and special symbols E) Input, output and strings it's more than a little misleading to say that "This is _not_ a book about Eiffel." Don't get me wrong -- I haven't anything against this (I'm waiting patiently :-) for the DOS implementation of Eiffel to sink my teeth into myself). I just think a little clarification is required here. -- Norm Joseph cgh!amanue!oglvee!norm@dsi.com Oglevee Computer Systems, Inc. {pitt,cgh}!amanue!oglvee!norm "Shucking Usenet oysters in pursuit of a pearl." -- Bill Kennedy
