ObjectDB is an object database for Java. It can be used in client-
server mode and in embedded (in process) mode. ObjectDB Object Database
Developer(s) ObjectDB
Unlike other object databases, ObjectDB does not provide its own Software
proprietary API. Accordingly, working with ObjectDB requires
using one of the two standard Java APIs: JPA or JDO. Both APIs Stable release 2.8.3 / July 7,
are built-in in ObjectDB,[2][3] so an intermediate ORM software is 2020
not needed.[4][5] Written in Java

Features
ObjectDB is a cross platform software and can be used on various operating systems with Java SE 5 or
higher. It can be integrated into Java EE and Spring web applications and deployed on servlet
containers (Tomcat, Jetty) as well as on Java EE application servers (GlassFish, JBoss).[6][7] It was
tested on various JVMs, including HotSpot, JRockit and IBM J9.[8]
The maximum database size is 128 TB (131,072 GB). The number of objects in a database is unlimited
(except by the database size).[8]
All the persistable types of JPA and JDO are supported by ObjectDB, including user defined entity
classes, user defined embeddable classes, standard Java collections, basic data types (primitive
values, wrapper values, String, Date, Time, Timestamp) and any other serializable classes.[8]
Every object in the database has a unique ID. ObjectDB supports both traditional object database IDs,
as well as RDBMS like primary keys, including composite primary keys and auto value generation and
assignment,[8] as part of its support of JPA, which is mainly an API for RDBMS.
Two query languages are supported. The JDO Query Language (JDOQL), which is based on Java
syntax, and the JPA Query Language (JPQL), which is based on SQL syntax. JPA 2 criteria queries are
also supported.[8]
ObjectDB automatic schema evolution handles most changes to classes transparently, including
adding and removing of persistent fields, changing types of persistent fields, and modifying class
hierarchy. Renaming persistable classes and persistent fields is also supported.[8]
