Customer Reviews & Comments I found it fair and product-independent 18 user cases of Object Database. Some of user cases are not enough new, but they refers why they decided to use Object Database instead of common Relational Databases. Some even refers why they adopted a certain product of Object Database. Be careful this is not a introduction of Object Database. If you already have some knowledge of Object Database and are hesitating over which product to choose, this would be a helpful guide.
