Object Oriented and Relational Database

Object Relational and Object-Oriented Database


What Is Object Relational Database?

An object-relational database (ORD) is a database management system (DBMS) that’s composed of both a relational database (RDBMS) and an object-oriented database (OODBMS). An object-relational database acts as an interface between relational and object-oriented databases because it contains aspects and characteristics from both models.

Object-oriented database (ORD) serves two main purposes:
  • It connects the divide between relational databases and the object-oriented modeling techniques that are usually used in programming languages like C#, Java and C++.
  • It bridges the gap between conceptual data modeling techniques for relational and object-oriented databases like entry-relationship diagram (ERD) and object-relational mapping (ORM).

What Is Object Oriented Database?

An object-oriented database is organized around objects rather than actions and data rather than logic. Therefore, an object database is a database management system in which information is represented in the form of objects as used in object-oriented programming. 

Usually, when OODBMS is integrated with an object programming language, there is a much greater consistency between the database and the programming language because both use the same model of data representation. When compared to a relational database management system, an object-oriented database stores complex data and relationships between data directly, without mapping to relational rows and columns whereas a relational database stores information in tables with rows and columns.

Key Differences

Features Of Object Oriented Database (OODBMS)
  1. In object oriented database, relationships are represented by references via the object identifier (OID). 
  2. Object oriented systems employ indexing techniques to locate disk pages that store the object. Therefore, they are able to provide persistent storage for complex-structured objects. 
  3. Handles larger and complex data than RDBMS.
  4. The constraints supported by object oriented systems vary from system to system.
  5. In object oriented systems, the data management language is typically incorporated into a programming language such as #C++.
  6. Stores data entries are described as object.
  7. Object oriented database can handle different types of data.
  8. In the object oriented database, the data is stored in the form of objects.

Features Of Object Relational Database (ORDBMS)
  1. In object t relational database, connections between two relations are represented by foreign key attributes in one relation that reference the primary key of another relation.
  2. Relational database systems do not specify any data storage structure, each base relation is implemented as separate file and therefore, they are unable to provide persistent storage for complex-structured objects. 
  3. Handles comparatively simpler data.
  4. Object oriented database has keys, entity integrity and referential integrity.
  5. In relational database systems there are data manipulation languages such as SQL, QUEL and QBE which are based on relational calculus.
  6. Stores data in entries is described as tables.
  7. Relational database can handle a single type of data.
  8. In relational database, data is stored in the form of tables, which contains rows and column.


Object Oriented Database Vs Object Relational Database :


BASIS OF COMPARISON                

OBJECT ORIENTED DATABASE (OODBMS) 

OBJECTED RELATIONAL DATABASE (ORDBMS) 

Connection Between Two Relations 

Relationships are represented by references via the object identifier (OID).  

Connections between two relations are represented by foreign key attributes in one relation that reference the primary key of another relation.  

Data Storage Structure 

It employs indexing techniques to locate disk pages that store the object. Therefore, they are able to provide persistent storage for complex-structured objects.  

It  does not specify any data storage structure, each base relation is implemented as separate file and therefore, they are unable to provide persistent storage for complex-structured objects

Quantity Of Data 

Handles larger and complex data than RDBMS.  

Handles comparatively simpler data.  

Constraints

The constraints supported by this system vary from system to system.  

It has keys, entity integrity and referential integrity.  

Data Manipulation Language 

The data management language is typically incorporated into a programming language such as #C++.  

There are data manipulation languages such as SQL, QUEL and QBE which are based on relational calculus.  

Description Of Stored Data 

Stores data entries are described as object.  

Stores data in entries is described as tables.  

Type Of Data 

Object oriented database can handle different types of data.    

Relational database can handle a single type of data.  

Data Storage 

The data is stored in the form of objects.  

Data is stored in the form of tables, which contains rows and column.

Languages in DBMS

Languages in DBMS Structured Query Language(SQL) as we all know is the database language by the use of which we can perform certain operations on the existing database and also we can use this language to create a database. SQL uses certain commands like Create, Drop, Insert, etc. to carry out the required tasks. These SQL commands are mainly categorized into five categories as: DDL – Data Definition Language DQL – Data Query Language DML – Data Manipulation Language DCL – Data Control Language TCL – Transaction Control Language Now, we will see all of these in detail. DDL (Data Definition Language): DDL or Data Definition Language actually consists of the SQL commands that can be used to define the database schema. It simply deals with descriptions of the database schema and is used to create and modify the structure of database objects in the database. DDL is a set of SQL commands used to create, modify, and delete database structures but not data. These commands are normally ...

Indexing in DBMS

Indexing in DBMS Indexing is used to optimize the performance of a database by minimizing the number of disk accesses required when a query is processed.  The index is a type of data structure. It is used to locate and access the data in a database table quickly. Index structure: Indexes can be created using some database columns. The first column of the database is the search key that contains a copy of the primary key or candidate key of the table. The values of the primary key are stored in sorted order so that the corresponding data can be accessed easily.  The second column of the database is the data reference. It contains a set of pointers holding the address of the disk block where the value of the particular key can be found. Indexing Methods Ordered indices The indices are usually sorted to make searching faster. The indices which are sorted are known as ordered indices. Example: Suppose we have an employee table with thousands of record and each of which is 10 byte...

SQL Injection

SQL Injection The SQL Injection is a code penetration technique that might cause loss to our database. It is one of the most practiced web hacking techniques to place malicious code in SQL statements, via webpage input. SQL injection can be used to manipulate the application's web server by malicious users. SQL injection generally occurs when we ask a user to input their username/userID. Instead of a name or ID, the user gives us an SQL statement that we will unknowingly run on our database. For Example - we create a SELECT statement by adding a variable "demoUserID" to select a string. The variable will be fetched from user input (getRequestString). demoUserI = getrequestString("UserId"); demoSQL = "SELECT * FROM users WHERE UserId =" +demoUserId; Types of SQL injection attacks SQL injections can do more harm other than passing the login algorithms. Some of the SQL injection attacks include: Updating, deleting, and inserting the data: An attack can mo...
