Object Database Management Systems (ODBMSs) are designed to work well
with object programming languages such as C#, C++, and Java. These articles provide a
background on ODBMSs and their use.
New articles will be added regularly. If you would like to be notified when
new articles are available, add your name to our mail
list.

Finally, in addition to the articles listed below, be sure to check out the database
concepts and standards articles (new window). Many of these
database concepts apply to all forms of database management
systems: relational (RDBMS), object (ODBMS), XML (XDBMS), and others as well as object-relational
mapping and XML-mapping products.
There are nearly 400 pages of articles on this site with over 50 pages on object-oriented database management systems.
