[ADVERT]: New Book on OODB Case Studies

I apologise to those that find adverts annoying - this is a one-shot posting to these groups. A new book containing 18 case studies on Object Data Management has recently been published. The 18 contributions were written by users and practitioners and cover a number of object database products (GemStone, O2, Objectivity/DB, ObjectStore and VERSANT), as well as isolation layers. Papers are divided into four main categories: 1. System Architecture 2. Applications and Design 3. Object Database Selection and Migration 4. Performance A fairly detailed chapter-by-chapter breakdown is available at the Prentice-Hall web site: http://www.prenhall.com/ptrbooks/ptr_013899725x.html Cheers, -- Akmal akmal(at)bigfoot(dot)com
