The important concepts concerning object-oriented databases (OODBs) are reviewed. The shortcomings of the relational model in supporting nontraditional applications are outlined. OO features are explained, and how they can be used to overcome the above mentioned shortcomings is indicated. The issue of developing a declarative query language for OODBs is briefly discussed. Some practical and theoretical difficulties are addressed.
