Abstract
The industry has been struggling to make the object oriented universe talk to the relational universe - Entity Beans, JDO, Hibernate, are some of the many efforts in this direction. Object oriented databases don't need all this, but so far they have mainly been a disappointment - and everybody would like to still use familiar SQL requests, even on OO databases. The major players in the industry are now starting to react by developping new object-friendly databases - but there is a solution already. InterSystems have provided for years a native object-oriented database that fully supports standard SQL: "Caché". This is the solution you've been waiting for. Create classes in the database, access them through pure object functionality, or access the classes as tables through plain SQL queries using standard JDBC! All this with a level of performance equivalent or better than relational. Caché has much more to offer, but only for solving the impedance mismatch fatality for you, it is more than worth a try. This presentation will give you an overview of the many interesting features in Caché.
