SAP uses something called SAP DB which is a OO database. It is used internally in some of SAP products such
as APO. SAP had given this database to open source.. Many years ago I worked with Versant OODBMS http://www.versant.com. I think they are still in business.
Relational databases have very few data types. OO database support many more data types, but they cannot compete with releational database. Received on Sun Jun 17 2007 - 15:39:34 CDT
