Object-Relational Database Management Systems (ORDBMS)

An Object-Relational Database Management System (ORDBMS) combines features of traditional relational databases with capabilities from object-oriented programming. It stores data in tables like in standard databases but also allows complex data types such as images, audio, or custom objects. This means you can define and manipulate rich, structured data directly within the database, making it more flexible and suitable for applications requiring complex data handling, such as multimedia, geographic information systems, or software development environments. Essentially, ORDBMS enhances traditional databases by supporting both relational data structures and complex, custom data types.
