Re: Object oriented database

This was more response than I actually thought I my post would get (first time posting to newsgroups) :-).

I do apologise if my post falls outside the scope of this group as I might have been looking for a more pragmatic discussion, although the theory interests me.

My first objective is to create something that fits within the framework of existing programming languages, making it as easy as possible for programmers to use. As I see it, there is enough in common between C++, Java and C# for example to be able to create a common object model.

Seeing from some posts I might have used the term "object model" wrongly, but I have defined it as the set of classes used by one application. I am not looking to create a "data warehouse" style database that would be used by a wide range of applications, but rather a database / distribution system that is tightly linked with one or just a few applications. The reasoning being that there are a lot of applications that need to store complex data that doesn't have much meaning outside the application itself. From experience, I have seen so many applications that use a relation database just because that happens to be the only or the easiest available choice.
