After just finishing "Object-Oriented Environment in C++ - a user-friendly interface" by David Hu I have been left with a rather empty feeling and more questions than I started out with. So what exactly is an object-oriented database? If there are a few definitions of the term, what are they and how do they differ? My current project is to write such a beast, and at the moment I seem to be getting no ware (due to the lack of defined scope to the project). I would be greatly interested in what this group has to say. Thanks in advance, ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Marc A.
