is ORACLE Universal Server 8.03 really an Object-Oriented DBMS ?

HI,
I am working on a document which compares the main O-R DBMS ? and I would like to have some information about ORACLE Universal Server 8.03:

1. Does it support inheritance ? if so, simple inheritance ? multiple inheritance ?
2. Is it possible to create generic functions ?
3. Does it generate Object Identifier (OID) for each created object ?
4. Is there any functions which enable to use these OID ? ( for instance

: REF, DEREF, ISDANGLING...) 5) Is it possible to define links between several object by using these OID ? (collection links...)

6) Does it support "inverse links" ?

6) Does it support polymorphism ?

7) Is it possible to create views which enable to use relational tables and transform them into "object views" with OID ?

Well, I stop for this moment, I hope really somebody can help me. I am sorry for my English and I am waiting for reading from you soon.

Thanks in advance

                                                    Didier
