Database Design &Implementation
One thing is paramount in military, commercial or industrial applications: Never lose the content of an operational database. This requires persistence.
Hybrid object-relational databases (ORDB’s) are one way to solve the problem of writing object-oriented applications with persistent data content.
- The COOL framework includes GEN which generates C/C++ code for a hybrid ORDB, and LCP which supports method delegation between prototype object instances by interpreting a database of function names and/or function pointers.
Understanding ORDBs requires more details about database architecture (more slides).
