Abstract

• O₂ is an object-oriented database mamgement system. It consists of several components: a database engine, a set of language interfaces to this engine, and a set of tools that can used with the engine and from the languages.
  1. The database engine is O₂Engine. It supports concurrency, recovery, data security, physical to logical data independence, multi-base and multi-schema with import/export facilities, data administration, indices and clustering, full data distribution over a set of servers and workstations, support for client/server architecture.
  2. 0₂Engine can be programmed in various programming languages:
     • in C,
     • in C++,
     • in the object query language, 0₂SQL,
     • using the Application Programming Interface, 0₂API
  3. 0₂Engine can be used in conjunction with various tools: 0₂Look a GUI toolbox, 0₂Kit, an object and class library, 0₂Graph, a graph manipulation package, 0₂Browser, an object and class browser and 0₂Tools, the graphical programming environment for 0₂C.
• 0₂ offers greater productivity during the design, coding, testing and maintenance phases of application development.
• 0₂ generates high performance applications.
• O₂ produces graphic applications of a high ergonomic quality.
• O₂ supports new applications such as CASE, GIS, CAD/CAM, multimedia, technical data and documentation management, network management as well as traditional business type applications
• 0₂ reuses existing applications and improves them at a minimal cost.
