There is a nice (but maybe old) paper on ODB vs. RDB here:
http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~akmal/misc.dir/
If you want examples of OODBs in use, try the two books I helped put together:
"Succeeding with Object Databases"
http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~akmal/html.dir/00-book.html
and
"Object Databases in Practice"
http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~akmal/html.dir/98-book.html
Links to many other OODB sources (e.g. tutorials) here: http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~akmal/html.dir/resources.html
I have presented some papers, seminars, tutorials on OODBs over the years. A number of them are free for download here: http://www.soi.city.ac.uk/~akmal/html.dir/publications.html
You may also wish to have a look at Object-Relational Databases and some of the OO features they support. Paul Brown's book may help: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0130194603/
