Abstract

We present an analysis of three current object-oriented DBMS products: ONTOS, ObjectStore, and O2, as described by their available documentation. The most attractive feature of ONTOS and Object-Store is their use of C++ as a user interface - a widespread object-oriented language. They also provide persistent data implementation, transaction and recovery mechanisms, and modern application development tool sets following the recommendations of [Atkinson et al. 89]. O2 was chosen for a well-developed data type system and end-user interface, and for its reputation from the literature.
