Definitive Work on the Subject
I have read this book cover to cover. Think about that. When was the last time you (or anyone you know) read a technical book cover to cover? It is that good. It *does* get a bit deep and theoretical in many places, but it covers the subject matter with more depth and more meaningful examples than any other book I have ever seen. A MUST READ, if you want to design serious object databases!!

A very good book on object-oriented modeling
The book is composed of four parts: modeling concepts, analysis/design, implementation and large system issues.The first part describes the main concepts on object oriented modeling. The topics on object relationships (association, aggregation, generalization) are excellent. The second part, I consider that contains the best chapters. There are a lot of advices on how to develop database applications following object orientation and on how to choose a data management approach. The third part, about implemmentation, has good and bad chapters. I don't like the chapters on relational databases. They include valuable information on how to map classes to relational databases but some space is wasted with basic concepts on relational databases and the main example is developed using Microsoft Access. The last part is the smallest one and contains introductory topics on distributed databases, integration of applications and reverse engineering. The class diagrams are in OMT notation.

excellent book for advanced data architects
This book really enables to seamlessly synthesize 2 approaches - relational and object oriented while building systems with complex data structures and persistence requirements.
