Review - Of Objects and Databases: A Decade of Turmoil. ACM SIGMOD Digit. Rev. 1 (1999)

This article recounts the database object adventure and offers some predictions concerning the future of objects in database systems. Although (i) it does not include the most up-to-date buzzwords (it was written in 1996) and (ii) I don't like its conclusions (OODB are relegated to second class citizen in the database market), I still recommend it: the historical part is accurate and the predictions rather convincing (too bad for my favorites). Now, I could give you a summary of this 10 pages paper, but then why would you read it? So, let me simply conclude this review by profiling the likely reader interested in this paper.

an engineer who wants to impress his/her boss by making the right choice now
a graduate student looking for a good subject in database
a professor in need of some material for an introductory course on databases
a database researcher who has been sick for the last ten years and wants to know what he/she has been missing
a smart database researcher who wants to make sure he/she understood what has been happening
