  Ode
       
          An Object-Oriented Database from AT&T which extends C++
          and supports fast queries, complex application modelling and
          multimedia.
       
          Ode uses one integrated data model ({C++ classes) for both
          database and general purpose manipulation.  An Ode database is
          a collection of persistent objects.  It is defined,
          queried and manipulated using the language O++.  O++
          programs can be compiled with C++ programs, thus allowing the
          use of existing C++ code.  O++ provides facilities for
          specifying transactions, creating and manipulating persistent
          objects, querying the database and creating and manipulating
          versions.
       
          The Ode object database provides four object compatible
          mechanisms for manipulating and querying the database.  As
          well as O++ there are OdeView - an X Window System
          interface; OdeFS (a file system interface allowing objects to
          be treated and manipulated like normal Unix files); and CQL++,
          a C++ variant of SQL for easing the transition from
          relational databases to OODBs such as Ode.
       
          Ode supports large objects (critical for multimedia
          applications).  Ode tracks the relationship between versions
          of objects and provides facilities for accessing different
          versions.  Transactions can be specified as read-only; such
          transactions are faster because they are not logged and they
          are less likely to deadlock.  'Hypothetical' transactions
          allow users to pose "what-if" scenarios (as with
          spreadsheets).
       
          EOS, the storage engine of Ode, is based on a client-server
          architecture.  EOS supports concurrency based on
          multi-granularity two-version two-phase locking; it allows
          many readers and one writer to access the same item
          simultaneously.  Standard two-phase locking is also available.
          Ode supports both a client-server mode for multiple users
          with concurrent access and a single user mode giving improved
          performance.
       
          Ode 3.0 is currently being used as the multimedia database
          engine for AT&T's Interactive TV project.  Ode 2.0 has
          also been distributed to more than 80 sites within AT&T and
          more than 340 universities.  Ode is available free to
          universities under a non-disclosure agreement.  The current
          version, 3.0, is available only for Sun SPARCstations
          running SunOS 4.1.3 and Solaris 2.3.  Ode is being ported
          to Microsoft Windows NT, Windows 95 and SGI
          platforms.
