There are two types of database systems in use today, object-oriented and relational. Object-oriented databases are better suited to handling complex relationships among data ojects such as those found in imaging and multimedia applications. The reason for this is that with an object-oriented database, the database and any applications interacting with it all use the exact same object model. There is no mapping required between program objects and the database as there is with relational databases. The use of an object-oriented database results in greater speed, extremely flexible searching functionality, much easier creation of content, and much easier administration. Scentis’s object-oriented database records can also be linked to records in relational databases including Oracle and MS SQL Server.
