This review is from: Object-Oriented Databases (Database Experts' Series) (Hardcover)

The author's preface says, "A strong background in relational databases and the C++ programming language would be a prerequisite for the reader." Well, I have a strong background in C++, but not in relational databases, and I got almost nothing out of this book. I suggest that this book is best suited for readers strong in relational databases, and maybe for those currently working with object oriented databases.
