'''Objectivity/DB''' is a commercial [[object database]] produced by Objectivity, Inc. It allows applications to make standard [[C++]], [[C Sharp (programming language)|C#]], [[Java (programming language)|Java]], or [[Python (programming language)|Python]] objects persistent without having to convert the data objects into the rows and columns used by a [[relational database management system]] (RDBMS). Objectivity/DB supports the most popular object -oriented languages plus [[SQL]]/[[ODBC]] and [[XML]]. It runs on [[Linux]], [[Macintosh]], [[UNIX]] and [[Microsoft Windows|Windows]] platforms. All of the languages and platforms interoperate, with the Objectivity/DB kernel taking care of compiler and hardware platform differences.

==History==

Line 27:

Objectivity/DB is generally used in data intensive or real-time applications that manipulate highly complex, inter-related data. It may be embedded in a software or hardware product or used as a part of commercial, scientific, or government project.

Early deployments were primarily in [[Computercomputer-Aidedaided Designdesign]] (CAD) and engineering applications. In the early 1990s a number of telecom equipment manufacturers started embedding Objectivity/DB in advanced [[intelligent network]] and [[element management systems]]. Notable deployments have included the wireless [[sprintpcs|SprintPCS]] and the [[Iridium satellite constellation|Iridium low Earth orbit satellite networks]]. A number of process control, manufacturing and medical instrumentation systems incorporate Objectivity/DB because of its real-time performance and high availability.

Defense contractors and large science projects started using Objectivity/DB in the late 1990s. The government applications cover command and control, security, data fusion and intelligence applications. Objectivity/DB has been used in astrophysics, high energy physics, fusion, earth sciences, hydrography and bioinformatics applications. Most of these applications build and manipulate extremely large (multi-Petabyte) databases.
