Is a [[Smalltalk]] programming language image (such as in [[VisualWorks]]) an Object Database? [[User:Wlievens|Wouter Lievens]] 10:54, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
:I don't know about VisualWorks but I'll answer the general question. No, a Smalltalk environment or image is not an OODB. The Smalltalk objects only persist while the image is live. For an OODB you need to have real persistence, not just when the program is running but stored to a persistent storage mechanism that persists past the life of any one program and can be accessed simultaneously by multiple systems. It's possible that some Smalltalk products (e.g. Visualworks) may provide additional DB capabilities but just a vanilla Smalltalk environment is not a DB.
