Data Management Design

ODBC/JDBC

For client systems connecting to a database server ODBC is the main standard, and JDBC does the same for Java applications.  See these sites:
Microsoft's Data Access and Storage site info.
Sun's On-line JDBC Book and Basic JDBC Tutorial.

Database Vendors

There are many relational databases available, some of which now incorporate object-oriented features which might make them be considered more like hybrid databases. There are also some purely object-oriented databases.

Relational Databases

There are some DBMS available that have the power of commercial DBMS but are available as Open Source and licensed under the GNU and EULA systems.

Object Databases

Standards Bodies

Various bodies lay down standards for databases and for means of connecting applications to databases, such as ODBC and CORBA. Here are some of them.
  • ANSI (though you have to be a member or pay for copies of standards!)
  • ODMG
  • OMG

The standard for Java Data Objects (JDO) is on the Sun website.
