object-oriented databases

Object-oriented databases are a type of database that store data as objects, similar to how computer programming languages like Java or C++ do. Instead of just saving tables and rows, they store complex data types, including features like inheritance, methods, and relationships. This approach makes it easier to handle multimedia, CAD designs, or other data that’s complex and interconnected. Object-oriented databases allow for more natural modeling of real-world entities, enabling developers to work with rich, interconnected data seamlessly, which can improve performance and flexibility in applications that require complex data structures.
