He had started playing with the first team as a bonus player in the 2010–11 season. In his debut season he played 27 league games and one Serbian Cup match, against Red Star Belgrade in front of a full Kraljevo City Stadium on 22 September 2010. At the beginning of his senior career, he was mostly used as a midfielder, but he also appeared as a right-back in some matches during the spring half-season, after Jovica Vasilić left the club.

For the 2011–12 season, after Sloga was promoted in the First League, he scored a total of three goals over the course of 31 league matches. He played most frequently as a central midfielder, but he also appeared as a right-back in some matches. At home 1–2 defeat against Čukarički, he played on stopper place, after Boban Dmitrović had been substituted out at the half-time. Previously he scored a goal in the same game. Later, during the competition, he scored two more goals in matches against Proleter Novi Sad and OFK Mladenovac.

During the 2012–13 season, Gobeljić continued playing primarily as a central midfielder until coach Neško Milovanović moved him to right-back before the end of the season. He was the most standard player of the season, making 32 First League appearances and one cup appearance away against OFK Beograd, when Sloga lost 5–0. Although he did not score a goal, he was nominated for the man of the match once that season.

In the following season, the first team captain Aleksandar Božović dropped out of the starting eleven, with the more experienced Bojan Šejić replacing him on goal. Gobeljić got an armband as a vice-captain ahead Miloš Janićijević and Nemanja Miletić. On 25 September 2013, Gobeljić scored a goal in a cup match against Vojvodina, which went into overtime after a 1–1 tie.

Around this time he began playing more frequently as a utility player. He played mostly matches as a right-back during the season.

On 9 April 2015, Gobeljić scored his first goal for Napredak against Vojvodina, in what was Napredak's first ever win against Vojvodina in Novi Sad. During the regular season, Gobeljić made 26 league and one cup appearance, scoring one goal total. Finally, he played both matches in the league play-off against Metalac Gornji Milanovac, after which Napredak was relegated from the SuperLiga.

After Napredak was relegated to the Serbian First League, Gobeljić played all matches until the end of first half season. He started season as a right-back, but after Igor Zonjić joined the club, he moved back to the midfield. During the season, he was playing on both positions.

He scored his first goal in the 2016-17 season from Miloš Vulić's assist against Red Star Belgrade on 22 July 2016 at Rajko Mitić Stadium. In the following league match against Partizan, Bojan Šaranov fouled Gobeljić for penalty kick, which Nenad Šljivić scored.

Gobeljić was officially promoted by club's sports director Mitar Mrkela two days later, penning a three-year contract. He made his debut for Red Star in the second leg of the first qualifying round of the 2017–18 Europa League, substituting Ricardinho against Floriana.

On 25 May 2021, Gobeljić caused a controversy after Red Star's penalty shoot out win against Partizan Belgrade in the 2020–21 Serbian Cup final, lowering his shorts and making a *cojones* gesture towards Vladimir Stojković.

Playing with Sloga Kraljevo, he converted to right-back for a period, while playing for Napredak and Red Star. In his third season with Napredak, manager Dragan Ivanović moved him upfield, where he spent mostly time as a second striker and winger. Joining Red Star Belgrade, Gobeljić changed many places on the field at the beginning, including left-back and defensive midfielder positions.

# Marlan (fabric)

**Marlan** is a registered trademark for inherent flame retardant fabric (**UNE EN 11612**) used in protective clothing for foundries.

It was developed in 1997 and marketed by Marina Textil since 1998 conceived to protect against molten metal splashes including aluminium, cryolite, iron, steel, copper, magnesium, glass etc.

Marlan is a blend of different fibers, which includes wool and FR (flame retardant) cellulose fiber.

## Properties

The fabric is inherent meaning that the protection is not reduced through continuous use or washing and its properties remain unalterable throughout its life. The characteristics of the natural fibers give inherent protection and comfort.

According to the European Standard **EN 373** or the new one **EN ISO 9185** the fabric has the maximum value D3 for protection against aluminium splashes and E3 for iron splashes. The wool blend with a flame retardant fiber provides thermal insulation characteristics while avoiding the molten metal sticking to the fabric, which was the main problem of pure synthetic or natural fibers used in the past.

## Types

Currently there are different types and developments of Marlan, developed according to specific risks in foundries:

* Marlan AL600 (**EN ISO 6942**), Aluminized fabric – protection against radiant heat
* Marlan HV (**EN 471**) High visibility – protection against invisibility of the worker
* Marlan SX (**EN 11612**) with ceramic – protection against high impact molten metal splashes.

Notes  1. Some English sources have stated that Marlon is of Portuguese, Japanese and *Indian* descent. The ambiguous meaning of the word "Indian" in English has led some of his fans to believe that one or more of his ancestors originated from India. In Portuguese such ambiguity is nonexistent, since there are two words to convey the different meanings: *índio* for an American Indian (or Amerindian, including Native Brazilians); and *indiano* for people and things related to India.

title: Love Life (Tamia album)

abstract: Love Life is the sixth studio album by Canadian recording artist Tamia, released on June 9, 2015 by Plus One Music Group and Def Jam Recordings. Her first major label release since More (2004), it saw Tamia consulting a diverse roster of collaborators including songwriting credits from Rachel Assil, Claude Kelly, and Dillon Pace. With much of the album completed in ten days only, she used two studios to record material for Love Life simultaneously. Production comes courtesy of the likes of Pop & Oak, The-Dream, Tricky Stewart and Polow da Don, as well as frequent collaborators The Stereotypes and Shep Crawford, among others. Upon release, the critical response to Love Life was highly positive, eventually garnering critical acclaim for its mature lyrics, Tamia's vocalizing, and its overall "grown-up, worn-in R&B" sound. In the United States, the album debuted at number 24 on the US Billboard 200, selling 16,000 copies in its first week. It also topped the Top R&B Albums chart and reached number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, becoming her highest-charting album ever on both charts.

Upon release, the critical response to *Love Life* was highly positive, eventually garnering critical acclaim for its mature lyrics, Tamia's vocalizing, and its overall "grown-up, worn-in R&B" sound. In the United States, the album debuted at number 24 on the US *Billboard* 200, selling 16,000 copies in its first week. It also topped the Top R&B Albums chart and reached number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, becoming her highest-charting album ever on both charts. *Love Life* produced three singles, including lead single "Sandwich and a Soda" and follow-up "Stuck with Me" both of which reached the top twenty on *Billboard*'s Adult R&B Songs.

## Background

In 2004, Elektra Records released Tamia's third studio album, *More*. Her highest-charting release yet, it debuted at number seventeen on the US *Billboard* 200 and at number four on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, selling 58,000 copies in its first week. *More* was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and spawned the top forty single "Officially Missing You". The following year, Tamia split from Elektra and founded her own record label, Plus One Music Group, to gain more creative control over future projects. The first record to be released with the company was her fourth studio album *Between Friends* (2006). Her second album with the rooster, *Beautiful Surprise*, was released in 2012 after a six-year absence in which she had devoted herself to the education of her two children with retired basketball player Grant Hill. It debuted at number six on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and also garnered two Grammy Award nominations for Best R&B Album and Best R&B Song.

## Recording

In August 2014, Tamia signed with Def Jam Recordings, marking her return to the major label ranks. Commenting on her transition, Tamia elaborated: "To me \[labels\], you kind of have to use them like a rich uncle. But they've been really awesome and have let me just do my thing." Musically, she remarked that her new album was "about loving life and about love lives. There are a lot of songs that are love songs, but it's just a happy album. It's not as deep and dark as some of my past albums; it's in a better place." A departure from her previous independent projects, Tamia worked with a wider range of high-profile producers on *Love Life*, including Oak Felder and Pop Wansel from duo Pop & Oak as well as frequent collaborators Claude Kelly, Shep Crawford and Godz of Analog members Christopher "Tricky" Stewart and The-Dream, both of whom co-produced two songs for the album each.

*Love Life* was completed in ten days. Tamia rented recording studios in Atlanta, where she used two studios to record simultaneously. She booked sessions with several producers such as The Stereotypes, Chuck Harmony, Polow da Don, and Lil Ronnie to work with them in different rooms. Writing of the songs evolved largely spontaneously; the teams would afterwards only record tracks they seriously envisioned for inclusion on the album though. Initially worried about the short recording period, Tamia would later feel confirmed in her decision when her husband reminded her that rapper Jay-Z had used similar methods of collaborating when he produced his critically acclaimed 2001 album *The Blueprint* "in a weekend". Recounting on the experience in the production, Tamia later stated in interview: "When it felt like we were finished, I was like 'I think this project is done'. I could have recorded 15 other songs, but this project felt finished to me. It felt weird to say that after ten days."

At Metacritic, which assigns a rated mean out of 100 from mainstream critics, the album received a score of 79, which indicates "generally favorable reviews". *Los Angeles Times* reporter Gerrick D. Kennedy declared *Love Life* as "grown-up, worn-in R&B at its finest". He felt that the album "isn't about reinventing the wheel or even experimenting \[...\] It’s about comfort. And there’s nothing more comforting than familiar territory." Similarly, in his *New York Times* review, writer Ben Ratliff found "reinvention isn’t exciting unless there’s something existing to reinvent. A record like this – with grown-up passions and accountable moods, stirring key modulations, gauzy slow jams and hyper-mainstream ballads – maintains the tradition". He added that "there’s a need for albums like *Love Life* in general, and for albums by Tamia in particular; the understated fullness of her voice returns. But the singer’s persona matters."

Andy Kellman of Allmusic rated *Love Life* four out of five stars. He felt that "Tamia sounds fully invested without doing any overselling. \[She\] does not to attempt to hit those high notes that Deniece Williams and few others have been able to reach, but she gets the feeling across. It's a fine finish to her best album yet." Clover Hope from *Billboard* magazine wrote that on *Love Life* is "at its best when the beats settle like soft caresses and Tamia's vocals float into breathy exhales \[...\] Extra spice like that preserves the freshness when lagging, predictable ballads threaten the mood. As an ode to nuptial bliss, the album is both convincing and surprisingly coquettish." In his review for *Knoxville News Sentinel*, author Chuck Campbell remarked that *Love Life* "isn’t especially ambitious. It’s an even-keeled adult (though not vulgar) album steeped in bliss and sensuality." He compared the album to Janet Jackson’s "That's the Way Love Goes" period (1993) but felt that its "consistent tone works for and against *Love Life*. It works in that the illusion never shatters, but it fails in that if a listener questions the sincerity, the release quickly sounds tedious and absurd".

## Commercial performance

*Love Life* debuted at number 24 on the US *Billboard* 200, selling 16,000 copies in the week ending June 14, 2015. It also debuted on top of *Billboard*'s Top R&B Albums chart and at number two on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart, becoming Tamia's highest-charting album ever on both charts. According to Nielsen Music, sales increased 22 percent compared to the first week sales from previous album *Beautiful Surprise*. *Billboard* ranked *Love Life* 85th on its Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums year-end chart in 2015.

title: Venta Icenorum

abstract: Venta Icenorum was the civitas or capital of the Iceni tribe, located at modern-day Caistor St Edmund in the English county of Norfolk. The Iceni inhabited the flatlands and marshes of that county and are famous for having revolted against Roman rule under their queen Boudica in the winter of 61 CE.

text:
# Venta Icenorum

**Venta Icenorum** (Classical Latin: \[ˈwɛnta ɪkeːˈnoːrũː\], literally "marketplace of the Iceni") was the civitas or capital of the Iceni tribe, located at modern-day Caistor St Edmund in the English county of Norfolk. The Iceni inhabited the flatlands and marshes of that county and are famous for having revolted against Roman rule under their queen Boudica in the winter of 61 CE.

## Roman town

The town itself was probably laid out, and its first streets metalled, in approximately the first half of the second century. The town, which is mentioned in both the *Ravenna Cosmography* and the *Antonine Itinerary*, was a settlement near the village of Caistor St. Edmund, some 5 miles (8.0 km) south of present-day Norwich, and a mile or two from the Bronze Age henge at Arminghall. The site lies on the River Tas.

## Archaeology

In 1928, an aerial reconnaissance flight of a farm near Caistor St Edmund rediscovered the ruins of Venta Icenorum. A five-year archaeological dig soon followed, led by archaeologist Donald Atkinson.

The site subsequently remained uninvestigated until the University of Nottingham reopened it in 2009 seeking Iron Age (Iceni) structures beneath the town. The evidence uncovered revealed that the site was not established on a previous Iron Age town, but was a newly built and sparsely populated frontier town focused on administration and trade. It also revealed a partial integration of the mainly agrarian locals into Roman norms.

The embankments of Venta Icenorum can still be seen at Caistor today. The ruins (grid reference TG230034) are in the care of The Norfolk Archaeological Trust and managed by South Norfolk District Council. In 2011, the Trust expanded the site by buying an additional 55 acres of land across the river opposite the West Gate.

# OPEL Networks

**OPEL Networks Pty Limited** was a telecommunications provider that was to establish wholesale broadband services in regional areas of Australia in the form of WiMAX and ADSL2+ via a network of DSLAMs. The network was also to include terrestrial and undersea backhaul. The project is now defunct.

It was a 50:50 joint venture between Optus and Elders.

## Broadband Connect Funding

In June 2006, the Australian Department of Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (DCITA) under the then coalition government called for expressions of interest for discussion of how to invest up to A$878 million in funding under Broadband Connect program to provide greater access to broadband services in rural and regional areas at prices comparable to services available in metropolitan areas, $500 million of which was envisaged as being available to infrastructure projects. On 2006-09-21, the government announced they would invest up to $600 million in broadband infrastructure projects in rural, regional and remote Australia under this program. Applications for funding were open until 2006-11-30.

On 2007-06-18, in the lead up to a federal election, OPEL Networks was announced as the sole successful bidder, receiving the entire $600 million in funding under the program, as well as an additional allocation of $358 million. This was to be combined with $917 million to be invested by the OPEL Networks joint venture. The awarding of additional funding was met with some debate.

The funding agreement was signed on 2007-09-09, which was dependent upon further planning by OPEL and confirmation that it would reach the agreed levels of coverage. The then federal opposition Communications spokesman stated that they would honour the agreement, a stance maintained after winning government two months later, despite their own competing National Broadband Network proposal.

> We have said all along, will honour existing contracts. There are a number of performance hurdles the OPEL contracts have to meet. That's all part of the contract.
>
> Stephen Conroy, Minister for Communications, Lateline Business, 2007-12-05

On 2008-04-02, it was announced that the funding agreement had been cancelled. The minister cited OPEL's failure to meet the terms of the contract, specifically that analysis of OPEL's detailed maps revealed that it would reach only 72% of under-served premises, a claim refuted by the OPEL joint venture partners, who nevertheless stated that the project would not proceed.

## Network Infrastructure

The OPEL Networks rollout was to include:

The venture was also to acquire long term leased links from Optus (10,200 km) and other providers such as Nextgen Networks (2,200 km), as well as establishing a Tasmanian link using Basslink, providing OPEL with a protected link to the island.

The selection of WiMAX technology was questioned by some groups, including the then Federal Opposition and competitor Telstra, leading to further debate.

On 2008-01-07, OPEL acquired spectrum licences from Austar, conditional upon approval of its funding agreement, enabling it to deploy WiMAX using licensed spectrum rather than using unlicensed spectrum as previously planned.

## Operation

While Optus was to be contracted to build the network, OPEL Networks was to operate its network on behalf of its owners Optus and Elders, offering wholesale services back to them as customers, as well as to other third-party broadband retailers. Elders intended to enter the telecommunications market by selling OPEL services from its existing retail channels.

# Obert Logan

**Obert Clark "Butch" Logan** (December 6, 1941 – January 21, 2003) was an American football safety who played in the National Football League (NFL) for the Dallas Cowboys and New Orleans Saints. He played college football at Trinity (TX). Logan, whose nickname was "**The Little O**", was the last player in the NFL to wear the single-0 jersey until 2023.

## Early years

Obert attended Gonzales High School, where he competed in football, basketball, baseball and track. Originally recruited to Trinity University as a defensive back, he was the best athlete on the team, so his coaches persuaded him to play both ways. logan was a four-year starter, playing defensive back, flanker and halfback. In his first two seasons, he led the team in rushing and in his last two years he led them in receiving.

As a senior, Logan set a school and Southland Conference record with 11 receiving touchdowns. He set a school mark with an 81-yard run against Southwest Texas State College. Logan set a school record with a 79-yard reception against McMurry University. He also set school marks with 23 kickoff returns for 465 yards. Logan finished his college career with 33 kickoff returns (school record) for 690 kickoff return yards (school record).

Logan received honorable-mention Little All-American honors as a senior, was a three-time member of the All-Texas team and a three-time All-Southland Conference selection. He also practiced basketball, baseball and track.

In 1999, Logan was inducted into the Trinity University Hall of Fame.

## Professional career

### Dallas Cowboys (first stint)

Logan was signed as an undrafted free agent by the Dallas Cowboys after the 1965 NFL draft. The team tried him first at flanker, before moving him to safety, where he would end up surprising observers by making the Cowboys opening day roster for the 1965 season.

As a rookie, Logan was a reserve playing behind Mel Renfro, until the fifth game, when he was named the starter at free safety. Early in his first season, he forced a kickoff fumble that resulted in a touchdown. One of his three interceptions came against the Philadelphia Eagles, when he picked off a Norm Snead goal-line pass with two minutes left to secure a 21–19 win. Against the San Francisco 49ers, Larry Stephens blocked a field goal that Logan returned to the Cowboys' 47-yard line, helping the Cowboys set up a last minute touchdown to end a five-game losing streak. In the last game of the season against the New York Giants, he returned a blocked field goal by Cornell Green 60 yards for a key touchdown, helping his team win the game, complete the first non-losing season in franchise history and advance to the Playoff Bowl. In 1965, he was a key member of the special teams unit which blocked nine field goals (three times as many as other team in the NFL and Logan blocked two of those), five extra points and 1 punt, totaling 15 kicks blocked.

In 1966, between Renfro being switched to the offense and experiencing some injuries, Logan was able to start in six games and finished with two interceptions. He also played in the 1967 NFL Championship Game (commonly known as the Ice Bowl).

Logan was small for an NFL player, being 5 ft 10 in (1.78 m) and while listed at 182 pounds, appeared to weigh closer to 160. He also possessed good but not overwhelming speed. What set him apart was tremendous courage and a full out style of play that gave evidence of his knowledge and love for the game.

### New Orleans Saints

Logan was selected by the New Orleans Saints in the 1967 NFL Expansion Draft, becoming the franchise's first starting free safety. He was released on August 25, 1968.

### Dallas Cowboys (second stint)

On August 28, 1968, Logan was claimed by the Dallas Cowboys. On September 4, he was released and later signed to the taxi squad, where he spent the rest of the season. On August 30, 1969, he was released after being tried out as a flanker. Logan would spend his last two years of professional football in the Texas Football League.

## Personal life

Logan was well liked and respected by his teammates for his courage and attitude toward the game. After the NFL, Logan spent one season as an assistant player-coach for the San Antonio Toros of the Continental Football League. He then held the same position for one year the Fort Worth Braves of the Texas Football League, which was serving as a farm club for the Kansas City Chiefs.

Logan was trying his hand in the rodeo business as a rancher, when he accepted the athletic director and his last coaching job for the St. Paul Cardinals of Shiner, Texas. He contracted colon cancer and died in Luling, Texas at his home at the age of 61 on January 21, 2003. He would often tell friends that the most memorable thing about playing football for the Cowboys was Coach Tom Landry. Logan remembered that the first thing Landry told the rookies at training camp was that his priorities were "God, family and the Dallas Cowboys". He recalled being surprised that football was not Landry's first priority.

At his funeral many of Logan's Cowboys teammates served as his pallbearers; among them were Lee Roy Jordan, Walt Garrison, Bob Lilly, Don Meredith and Tex Schramm. Logan had maintained lifelong friendships with all of these men. After his death, Jordan said of him, "Obert was just a nice guy. I loved being around him. He was undersized and under-everything else but he proved right away that he was a great competitor. He represented the Dallas Cowboys well." Logan was survived by his mother Fannie Mae Logan, wife Patricia, and brother James.

# O Elvas C.A.D.

**O Elvas Clube Alentejano de Desportos** is a football club based in Elvas, Alentejo. It was founded in 1947 when the team **S.L. Elvas** and **S.C. Elvas** fused. **Sport Lisboa e Elvas** (founded in 1925) and **O Elvas CAD** spent several years in the Portuguese Liga, the main tier in the Portuguese football league system. Nowadays it plays in the Portalegre Regional Championships.

## History

The club was founded on August 15, 1947, from the merger of "Sport Lisboa e Elvas" with "Sporting Clube Elvense", clubs that were branches of Sport Lisboa e Benfica and Sporting Clube de Portugal respectively. The union between the two clubs from Elvas was fundamentally due to the lack of interest shown by the so-called mother clubs, since in the mid-1940s, both SL Elvas and SC Elvense were experiencing some financial difficulties and given the lack of aid several times requested and refused by their mother clubs, they decided to unite in a single club and in this way, managed to keep the king sport alive in the interior region. Thanks to the status of "SL Elvas", which already competed in the 1st Division, "O Elvas" continued it five times, in the 1940s. It debuted in 8th place in 1947/48, with victories against big clubs, such by 1/2 over SL Benfica, with two goals from Patalino or the 5/0 thrashing of Boavista and the 3/1 victory against SC Braga, followed by a 9th place in 1948/49 and 13th place in the following season, being, therefore, relegated to the second tier. Then returned to the 1st Division, in 1986/87, having finished in 16th place and, in the following season, ended up in 15th place, among 20 participating teams

On March 15, 1973, «O Elvas» F.C. XL first branch of O Elvas CAD was founded. In between, a reference, for the national title of the 3rd Division, won in 1954/55, in addition to several honorable classifications in the 2nd and 3rd National Division. In 1980/81, "O Elvas" lost the final of the 3rd Division Nacional, with the title being won by CF União de Coimbra in the second phase of the competition.

When the crisis knocked on the door, the club went downhill until it descended to the District Championship of the Football Association of Portalegre and for that reason for years it only relied on the academy. Currently the team is getting back on its feet, with a new president, a new project with a SAD, a new technical team and a young squad, the main team returns this year to the Campeonato de Portugal, and with academy teams, both at district and national level.

The club already had the modality of basketball, which participated in the competitions of the "Associação de Basquetebol do Alentejo", also in the youth and senior levels, but which currently has its activity suspended.

title: Object–relational database

abstract: An object–relational database (ORD), or object–relational database management system (ORDBMS), is a database management system (DBMS) similar to a relational database, but with an object-oriented database model: objects, classes and inheritance are directly supported in database schemas and in the query language. Also, as with pure relational systems, it supports extension of the data model with custom data types and methods. An object–relational database can be said to provide a middle ground between relational databases and object-oriented databases. In object–relational databases, the approach is essentially that of relational databases: the data resides in the database and is manipulated collectively with queries in a query language; at the other extreme are OODBMSes in which the database is essentially a persistent object store for software written in an object-oriented programming language, with an application programming interface API for storing and retrieving objects, and little or no specific support for querying.

# Object–relational database

An **object–relational database** (**ORD**), or **object–relational database management system** (**ORDBMS**), is a database management system (DBMS) similar to a relational database, but with an object-oriented database model: objects, classes and inheritance are directly supported in database schemas and in the query language. Also, as with pure relational systems, it supports extension of the data model with custom data types and methods.

An object–relational database can be said to provide a middle ground between relational databases and object-oriented databases. In object–relational databases, the approach is essentially that of relational databases: the data resides in the database and is manipulated collectively with queries in a query language; at the other extreme are OODBMSes in which the database is essentially a persistent object store for software written in an object-oriented programming language, with an application programming interface API for storing and retrieving objects, and little or no specific support for querying.

## Overview

The basic need of object–relational database arises from the fact that both Relational and Object database have their individual advantages and drawbacks. The isomorphism of the relational database system with a mathematical relation allows it to exploit many useful techniques and theorems from set theory. But these types of databases are not optimal for certain kinds of applications. An object oriented database model allows containers like sets and lists, arbitrary user-defined datatypes as well as nested objects. This brings commonality between the application type systems and database type systems which removes any issue of impedance mismatch. But object databases, unlike relational do not provide any mathematical base for their deep analysis.

The basic goal for the object–relational database is to bridge the gap between relational databases and the object-oriented modeling techniques used in programming languages such as Java, C++, Visual Basic (.NET) or C#. However, a more popular alternative for achieving such a bridge is to use a standard relational database systems with some form of object–relational mapping (ORM) software. Whereas traditional RDBMS or SQL-DBMS products focused on the efficient management of data drawn from a limited set of data-types (defined by the relevant language standards), an object–relational DBMS allows software developers to integrate their own types and the methods that apply to them into the DBMS.

The ORDBMS (like ODBMS or OODBMS) is integrated with an object-oriented programming language. The characteristic properties of ORDBMS are 1) complex data, 2) type inheritance, and 3) object behavior. *Complex data* creation in most SQL ORDBMSs is based on preliminary schema definition via the user-defined type (UDT). Hierarchy within structured complex data offers an added property, *type inheritance*. That is, a structured type can have subtypes that reuse all of its attributes and contain additional attributes specific to the subtype. Another advantage, the *object behavior*, is related with access to the program objects. Such program objects must be storable and transportable for database processing, therefore they usually are named as persistent objects. Inside a database, all the relations with a persistent program object are relations with its object identifier (OID). All of these points can be addressed in a proper relational system, although the SQL standard and its implementations impose arbitrary restrictions and additional complexity

In object-oriented programming (OOP), object behavior is described through the methods (object functions). The methods denoted by one name are distinguished by the type of their parameters and type of objects for which they attached (method signature). The OOP languages call this the polymorphism principle, which briefly is defined as "one interface, many implementations". Other OOP principles, inheritance and encapsulation, are related both to methods and attributes. Method inheritance is included in type inheritance. Encapsulation in OOP is a visibility degree declared, for example, through the `public`, `private` and `protected` access modifiers.

## History

Object–relational database management systems grew out of research that occurred in the early 1990s. That research extended existing relational database concepts by adding object concepts. The researchers aimed to retain a declarative query-language based on predicate calculus as a central component of the architecture. Probably the most notable research project, Postgres (UC Berkeley), spawned two products tracing their lineage to that research: Illustra and PostgreSQL.

In the mid-1990s, early commercial products appeared. These included Illustra (Illustra Information Systems, acquired by Informix Software, which was in turn acquired by International Business Machines (IBM), Omniscience (Omniscience Corporation, acquired by Oracle Corporation and became the original Oracle Lite), and UniSQL (UniSQL, Inc., acquired by KCOM Group). Ukrainian developer Ruslan Zasukhin, founder of Paradigma Software, Inc., developed and shipped the first version of Valentina database in the mid-1990s as a C++ software development kit (SDK). By the next decade, PostgreSQL had become a commercially viable database, and is the basis for several current products that maintain its ORDBMS features.

Computer scientists came to refer to these products as "object–relational database management systems" or ORDBMSs.

Many of the ideas of early object–relational database efforts have largely become incorporated into SQL:1999 via structured types. In fact, any product that adheres to the object-oriented aspects of SQL:1999 could be described as an object–relational database management product. For example, IBM Db2, Oracle Database, and Microsoft SQL Server, make claims to support this technology and do so with varying degrees of success.

## Comparison to RDBMS

An RDBMS might commonly involve SQL statements such as these:

```
   CREATE TABLE Customers  (
       Id          CHAR(12)    NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
       Surname     VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
       FirstName   VARCHAR(32) NOT NULL,
       DOB         DATE        NOT NULL   # DOB: Date of Birth
    );
    SELECT InitCap(C.Surname) || ', ' || InitCap(C.FirstName)
      FROM Customers C
     WHERE Month(C.DOB) = Month(getdate())
       AND Day(C.DOB) = Day(getdate())

```

Most current SQL databases allow the crafting of custom functions, which would allow the query to appear as:

```
    SELECT Formal(C.Id)
      FROM Customers C
     WHERE Birthday(C.DOB) = Today()

```

In an object–relational database, one might see something like this, with user-defined data-types and expressions such as `BirthDay()`:

```
    CREATE TABLE Customers (
      Id           Cust_Id     NOT NULL  PRIMARY KEY,
      Name         PersonName  NOT NULL,
      DOB          DATE        NOT NULL
    );
    SELECT Formal( C.Id )
      FROM Customers C
     WHERE BirthDay ( C.DOB ) = TODAY;

```

The object–relational model can offer another advantage in that the database can make use of the relationships between data to easily collect related records. In an address book application, an additional table would be added to the ones above to hold zero or more addresses for each customer. Using a traditional RDBMS, collecting information for both the user and their address requires a "join":

```
     SELECT InitCap(C.Surname) || ', ' || InitCap(C.FirstName), A.city
       FROM Customers C JOIN Addresses A ON A.Cust_Id=C.Id -- the join
      WHERE A.city="New York"

```

The same query in an object–relational database appears more simply:

```
    SELECT Formal( C.Name )
      FROM Customers C
     WHERE C.address.city="New York" -- the linkage is 'understood' by the ORDB

```
