Matisse (http://www.matisse.com/) is one of the OODBs that
support the above four things:
- By introducing "inverse relationship", which is maintained
by the DBMS, referential integrity is met.
- Matisse provides SQL, which is executed in the server
for high performance.
- ODBC is provided
- To make the server scalable, Matisse is using object-level
locking, intrinsic versioning, multi-threading, etc...
Since the data model in Matisse is neutral from any programming
language, it's no problem to manipulate data using multiple
applications even written in different languages.
