As of March, 2003, the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) stored
over 800 terabytes of production data
using Objectivity/DB. The production data is distributed across 100 on-line
servers, using 2000 CPUs. SLAC uses Objectivity/DB for its flagship research project named B Factory, which includes the PEP II accelerator and the BaBar particle detector. The
BaBar experiment -- a collaboration of 600 physicists from nine nations -- observes collisions between subatomic particles to understand how the behavior of matter and antimatter shaped our universe.
All BaBar data is stored in an Objectivity/DB database federation running in a heterogeneous environment comprised of Solaris and
Linux platforms, using the C++ and Java languages. SLAC has collaborated with Objectivity Inc. to create the Objectivity Open File System, which provides a transparent interface between Objectivity/DB and SLAC's High Performance Storage System.

Everyone in the dev team got some use out of this as a reference - good to have in the team.
Object-Oriented Database Design Clearly Explained by Jan L. Harrington Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews. Customer Review: "Object Oriented Database Design" is a book for beginners and, as far as I have been able to investigate, it is a perfect walkthrough along the background of object structures. Figures, exemples, syntax of codes and clear explanations lead the learner through theory towards practice. Exemples are often very nice.
