Object-Orientation FAQ

O2 Technology, Inc.

The O2 System is a fully modular object database, well adapted for
developing large-scale client/server applications. The O2 system conforms
to the ODMG 93 standard. O2 is an open system, which ensures its
compatibility with a corporate computing environment.

O2 integrates a powerful engine with a graphic programming environment, a
complete set of development tools and programming languages. The modules
can be integrated with existing relational database engines, GUI tools,
the World Wide Web, programming languages and CASE and methodology tools.

With O2, you can develop and run applications in areas where traditional
tools and systems cannot handle information efficiently (e.g.  management
of technical information, geographical information systems, CAD/CAM and
network management).
