Object/Relational Mapping and the Vietnam of Computer Science
sponsored by db4objects, Inc

Ted Neward sat down with TheServerSide.com to discuss what he called the "Vietnam of Computer Science," referring to object/relational mapping. Learn why Neward describes object/relational mapping as a quagmire and why he believes programmers pretend that the translation from object model to relational model is invisible, while it's clearly not.

In this tech talk Ted examines object databases, which don't translate to a relational form at all, highlighting db4o as an example of a successfully deployed object database, and describes where their strengths and weaknesses as compared to object/relational systems.
