Abstract

Databases form part of the web as well as mobile applications and are ubiquitous in data centre. Over the years, databases have had a magnified importance because of their needs to store and access information over the World Wide Web and in data intense applications. The functions of databases revolve around the design of such databases using specific models. Object-oriented paradigm has gained tremendous popularity in application programming in recent times owing to its features like abstraction, encapsulation, inheritance and polymorphism which has made software design and development easier, faster, less expensive and extensible. In this paper, we examined the Object-oriented concepts and their application in object-oriented database system and web databases. The underlying concepts and evolutions were discussed as well as the practical applications with a view to enhancing thorough understanding of the subject matter. Literature reviewed showed that the advent of the object- oriented database has proved to be relevant for cases in which designs are complex, the need for constant evolution of data exists and also in cases where collaborative development is required; furthermore, web databases are quite important in the modern management of information and web data.
