The best way to store the complex da
ta used in object-oriented systems is with a DBMS that understands objects--something that relational databases don't do well
- by Richard Marlon Stein

DBMSes (object-oriented database management systems), just as with operating-system interfaces, network protocols, or compilers.
Force-fitting objects into a relational database just doesn't work well. The impedance problem is at the root of the incompatibilities.
