They are useful if you have to work with an OO application development team that says "we can't work with relational tables ... impedance mismatch ... blah blah ... we need the data presented as objects." For such a case, rather than redesign your relational database into some baroque object-relational horror, you can instead leave your relational database as it is and provide object views to give the application the OO perspective it needs.

If you don't have to work in such an environment then you won't find any use for object views either. Received on Wed Jun 15 2005 - 04:24:39 CDT
