Object-Relational Database (ORD)

Return to Glossary

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). ORD supports the basic components of any object-oriented database model in its schemas and the query language used, such as objects, classes, and inheritance.

An object-relational database may also be known as an Object-Relational DataBase Management System (ORDBMS).
