Objectivity, Inc. today an the announced the continuation of its series of complementary educational webinars. "What to Do When the Best of Breed Isn't Enough: Exploring Database Management Technologies" is the next in series, helping software developers and system architects understand how and when to use the most effective database management system for their object oriented application development. The webinar will show object-oriented (ODBMS) and relational database (RDBMS) technologies and discuss the merits and advantages of each.

    This online webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, June 26, 2007 at 12 noon EDT / 9:00am PDT / 5:00pm GMT. To get more information or register for this webinar, you can visit http://www.objectivity.com/pages/webinars/default.asp. Experts will test ODBMS and RDBMS technologies and discuss when you should consider using ODBMS. They will also examine the Objectivity/DB platform--the only ODBMS that is fully distributed--and its function to store and manage complex data as objects while enabling high performance applications to be built with virtually unlimited scalability, reliability, availability and flexibility.

    Presenting from Objectivity will be Mr. Brian Clark, vice president, technical services, Lenny Hoffman product requirements manager and principal consultant and Todd Stavish senior systems engineer. With more than 30 years of software industry experience, Mr. Clark is responsible for all systems engineering and professional services for Objectivity's customer base. Prior to joining Objectivity in 1989, he worked at Automation Technology Products. Previously Mr. Clark was with project management services at International Computers Limited, one of Europe's leading computer companies at the time. Brian will share his thoughts about solutions for depositing and managing very large volumes of complex information for event and relationship processing. Recently Mr. Clark was among four speakers invited to present at the inaugural National Visualization and Analytics Center (NVAC) Consortium. His presentation covered building information fusion management solutions for real-time, mission-critical intelligence fusion and scientific applications.

    Programming languages, systems, business processes areand hardware are constantly evolving. The ideal solution is often an ODBMS as it will expand and sustain itself while dynamically adapting to how it is used. The successful software developer will benefit from knowing when the situation calls for an ODBMS. RDBMS can work well in some situations but they can only satisfy a certain problem set. In object oriented development, as complexity increases, the mismatch between the RDBMS and the application grows. You find that you need to manage more relationships and provide more distributed, scalable access.
