Polyhedra DBMS: Simplifying Queries and Updates with Inheritance

How Polyhedra’s object-oriented features allow a more rational database design than is possible with a purely relational DBMS.

Traditional relational database management systems are simple to understand, but it can be difficult to model ‘real-world’ systems – especially if you want to denormalise the database in the interests of data integrity.

The Polyhedra Relational DBMS products allow tables to be derived from other tables, making it easier for object-oriented applications to store and retrieve the information they need, which has the nice side-effect of improving both performance and overall integrity of the data and the applications that use it.
