The ACM journals and SIG newsletters on Data Base and Office Info Systems
      often have stuff about Object Oriented Database management.
     
      Typically, the O approach is most useful when the world be
modeled is object like.  For example, consider building a database to
manage geographic info for a city the size of New York.  Support
queries like "What offices are within 15 minutes of the UN building?"
or "Whose view will be blocked by a 200 stofry building at 5th and
Broadway?"
     
      Likewise, systems for managing blueprints, specifications, and
change requests in a manufacturing environment profit immensly
from Object orientations.
