db4objects Releases “The Database Behind the Brains” Whitepaper on the Benefits of Object Databases
Written by renowned technology editor Rick Grehan, the report details the benefits of object databases versus RDBMS

SAN MATEO, Calif., December 15, 2004 – db4objects, providers of the leading open source object database for Java and .NET, today released a new whitepaper: “ The Database Behind the Brains.” The whitepaper focuses on the inherent difficulties of using RDBMS in object-oriented programming and why an object database makes much more sense for modern programming platforms like Java and .NET.

“The solution to the difficulties of object to RDBMS issues such as impedance mismatch, wasted CPU cycles, and code complexity is a purely object oriented database system. db4o provides a minimal footprint, zero administration and native object development,” said Christof Wittig, CEO of db4objects. “This whitepaper illustrates why db4o is the logical choice for object oriented development tasks.”

db4o, the world’s first native Java and .NET object database, drives complexity out of software systems by giving developers the simplest and easiest way to directly store objects. Developers can store objects in native format without the hassle and overhead of translation to other formats such as SQL. Lightweight design and high performance make db4o ideal for embedded use in real-time control systems, software products, and devices such as mobile electronics, game consoles, medical equipment and automotive systems.
