Object-oriented database management system (OODBMS) definition

When you integrate database capabilities with object programming language capabilities, the result is an object-oriented database management system or ODBMS¹. An ODBMS makes database objects appear as programming language objects in one or more existing programming languages. Object database management systems extend the object programming language with transparently persistent data, concurrency control, data recovery, associative queries, and other database capabilities.

Also: In September 2007, the Object Database Technology Working Group of the Object Management Group (OMG) issued a white paper that introduced the concept of an "object calculus" for ODBMSs that is analogous to "relational calculus" in RDBMSs: Next Generation Object Database Standardization (new window).

¹ Other initialisms used for object database management systems include: OODBMS, ODB, OODB, OODMS, and ODMS. They are also called "object-oriented database systems."
