Editing Object database (section)

==Comparison with RDBMSs==
An object database stores complex data and relationships between data directly, without mapping to relational [[Row (database)|rows]] and [[Column (database)|columns]], and this makes them suitable for applications dealing with very complex data.<ref>{{Cite journal | last=Radding | first=Alan | year=1995 | title=So what the Hell is ODBMS? | journal=Computerworld | volume=29 | issue=45 | pages=121–122, 129}}</ref> Objects have a many-to-many relationship and are accessed by the use of pointers. Pointers are linked to objects to establish relationships. Another benefit of an OODBMS is that it can be programmed with small procedural differences without affecting the entire system.<ref>Burleson, Donald. (1994).
