Object-Oriented Databases Management Systems (OODBMS) are built to overcome Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) weaknesses. Despite these new systems, RDBMS remain much more used than any other database system. According to previous researches, OODBMS present also some weaknesses which demotivate IT engineers to migrate from RDBMS to OODBMS or to develop applications based on OODBMS. The aim of this article is to analyze Object-Oriented Database (OODB) Models weaknesses and to propose guidance that can help in overcoming these weaknesses. We used a descriptive approach to show up an effective OODB model.

Abstract


Object-Oriented Databases Management Systems (OODBMS) are built to overcome Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) weaknesses. Despite these new systems, RDBMS remain much more used than any other database system. According to previous researches, OODBMS present also some weaknesses which demotivate IT engineers to migrate from RDBMS to OODBMS or to develop applications based on OODBMS. The aim of this article is to analyze Object-Oriented Database (OODB) Models weaknesses and to propose guidance that can help in overcoming these weaknesses. We used a descriptive approach to show up an effective OODB model.
