Object-Orientation FAQ

APPENDIX B OBJECT-ORIENTED DATABASES AND VENDORS

This is a list of available Object-Oriented databases.  Thanks go to Stewart
Clamen, who's survey on schema evolution provided a good start.  The list
was updated March 1996 by Tim Harvey who keeps the mini-FAQ of object and
object-relational vendors for the sister News group comp.object.databases. 
Additional short entries and corrections are encouraged; please send them

The most recent copy of Stewart Clamen's summary on available databases
support for schema evolution will be available indefinitely via anonymous

[Kim 89] covers a few of the research systems below in depth.
Starred entries also have an entry in "APPENDIX E  ANONYMOUS FTP SITES".
