Object Query Language (OQL)

• Declarative (like SQL)

• No updates

• Computationally incomplete (like SQL)

• Query result: Any object or value

• Ad-hoc or embedded (like SQL)

• Can invoke methods easily

• All queries “start with” named, top-level database objects

• OQL is a freely composable, functional language
