Object Relational Database Management System (ORDBMS) is a DBMS or Database Management System akin to a relational database, but with an object oriented database model that allows custom web development professionals to combine the database with custom data types. It bridges the gap between relational databases and Object-Oriented Database Management System (OODBMS).
Traditional RDBMS (Relational Database Management System) focused on the efficient management from a limited set of data-types. Object relational DBMS allows web sites development experts to combine their own data types and methods.
The limitations of RDBMS have led to the introduction of object-relational database management systems ORDBMS systems occurred in the early 1990s out of research. One of the most notable research projects, the Postgres introduced two products Illustra and Postgre SQL. The mid-1990s saw many commercial products appearing. These included Omniscience, UniSQL and Illustra 2.
Objectives of Object Relational Databases:
- To bridge the gap between object-relational mapping and conceptual data modeling techniques.
- To bridge the gap between object oriented modeling techniques (used in programming languages like C++, C# and Java) and relational databases.
Advantages of ORDBMS:
- Object Relational Database Management Systems ensures large storage capacity, which is an important part in web based development
- The access speed is fairly quick.
- ORDBMSs have massive scalability.
- ORDBMSs boast excellent manipulation power of object databases.
- Supports object functionality by adding separate APIs and server subsystems
- Redesigns the database engine completely
- Supports rich data types by adding a new object-oriented layer.
Apart from these benefits, an object relational database management system has some drawbacks. One of the major disadvantages is its incapability for high-speed internet applications. However, ORDBMSs are designed to manage large amounts of information, an important aspect in the development of website. The IDC opines that the ORDBMS market has the potential to surpass the size of ODBMS in the next couple of years in web based development.
