I was told by several people that I should look at "vbase", a commercially available object oriented data base. At the time, I forget to get a pointer to the company who made it or other information. Can someone tell me where I can find the makers of this and how to contact them? -Mark

The 2nd generation of Vbase called ONTOS, written in/for C++ applications, is now available for SUN and Apollo platforms (as they advertised on the recent Journal of Object-Oreinted Programming). Try the following contacting address to get hold of them: Robert Martin Ontologic Inc. 3 Burlington Woods Burlington, MA 01803 Tel: (617)-272-7110 Fax: (617)-272-8101 --Qing Li -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Qing LI Dept of Computer Science phone: +61 62 49 3783 / (062) 49 3783 Faculty of Science ACSnet,CSNET: qing@anucsd.anu.oz Australian National University

The address you need: Ontologic, Inc. 47 Manning Road Billerica, MA 01821 508-667-2383 Ontologic used to sell an object-oriented database/programming environment called Vbase. They may still sell it to you, but it is no longer their primary product. They currently emphasize Ontos, a new object server oriented towards C++. Ontos, being shown at the OOPSLA conference in October, has some bragging rights as the first C++ object server to ship. A new competitor, Object Sciences, hopes to ship a similar product this quarter (1Q90). Contact: Object Sciences 210 Twin Dolphin Drive Redwood City, CA 94065 (415) 325-2300 You might also consider Object Design. Object Design is not shipping to my knowledge, but they have an "early access" program for their C++-based object database. Contact: Object Design 1 New England Executive Park Burlington, MA 01803 617-270-9797 Yet another competitor you might check out is Servio Logic, which has a C API now for its GemStone product, and a C++ interface in Beta. Contact: Servio Logic Corporation 1420 Harbor Bay Parkway/Suite 100 Alameda, CA 94501 (415) 748-6227 I think this pretty much rounds out the OOPSLA '89 hall of object database fame. Hope it helps. And, as always, my providing names and addresses in no way consititutes an endorsement of any kind.
