In my view, one possible reason for believing ODBMSs do not support queries is a natural conclusion

developed by well-respected database pioneer Dr. Michael Stonebraker. Dr. Stonebraker promoted this
matrix in his books, Object-Relational DBMSs: The Next Great Wave and Object-Relational

presentations over the years. It is shown below:
Dr. Stonebraker claims that it is a matrix for classifying DBMS applications.
Beautiful in its simplicity, the matrix has become part of the database culture
and "knowledge." Unfortunately, it's also inaccurate. The problem is
the lower right quadrant, which certainly implies that ODBMSs do not support
queries. Click here for more

Object-Oriented Database Design Clearly Explained by Jan L. Harrington Average Customer Review: based on 7 reviews.
