Named DB Objects

• These are the roots of persistence

• They are the only way to access data

• Can use browser to examine all our data:

  • Start at a named DB object and follow OIDs
  • Can do some limited updates via browser also
  • Can’t do “real” queries in browser
  • Can’t “link” two existing objects in browser

• OQL queries (next class) must use named DB objects to retrieve any data
