Try _Object Oriented Concepts, Databases and Applications_ by Kim & Lochovsky.
It just blew into our library here & is still on the new books display, so
I can't say much about it.  I can say that it isn't small (about 1" thick)
and also, don't flame me for OOP; I'm not a die-hard.  I am interested though.
