The [[Object Database Management Group]] did come up with an industry standard called [[ODMG]] 2.0 but it failed to gain acceptance with the ODBMS vendors mostly opting for proprietary features and extensions instead of attempting to grow the ODBMS pie by [[standards compliance]] and competing on implementations.

As an industry, ODBMS are considered by some to be a lost opportunity to revolutionize software development. Instead, there are more solutions out there providing wrongly so-called [[object-relational mapping]] abilities -- actually object-SQL mappings -- than there are ODBMS. There are many [[design pattern (computer science)|design pattern]]s for designing object-SQL mappings (it is a non-trivial task; see notes to this effect in [[database]]).
