Abstract :
The paper defines the object-relational approach to database management and examines its advantages. It summarizes the features that are expected in an object-relational system, and discusses how these features are influencing the ANSI/ISO SQL Standard. Using DB2 as an example, it describes how object-relational features can be used to meet the needs of advanced database applications.
