GCU Similarities and Differences Between RDBMS and OODBMS Analysis
I don’t understand this Writing question and need help to study.
- Define a tuple. How and where does a tuple fit into relational database theory? Why is this an important concept to understand?
- How does an object-oriented database management system (OODMS) compare to a relational database management system (RDBMS)? What are the key features of an OODBMS, and how can a developer utilize them?
- What is the difference between a Relation in an RDBMS and a Class in an OODBMS? Are they interchangeable, If so, explain how.
- Contrast an object-relational database management system (ORDBMS) with an RDBMS? Describe the unique features and provide an example of how an OODBMS might be preferable to an RDBMS.
- Contrast the attributes and functionality of an OODBMS versus an ORDBMS. Explain why RDBMS platforms are used more frequently in business than either of these object-oriented platforms.
- From an entity relationship diagram (ERD) standpoint, would there be a significant difference between using an ORDMBS versus an RDBMS? Explain why or why not, and discuss specific instances in which differences are the deciding factor.
