In my opinion (which some others share), OO is a bag of miscellaneous things which are better tools and better understood when accosted individually. Just trying to define what OO is, shows it: is this about late binding? (if it is, then there sub?program references, first?class functions, or even static polymorphism and signature overloading) About encapsulation? (if it is, then there is already modularity and scopes) About grouping logically related entities? (if it is, there is already modularity, and sometime physically grouping is a bad physical design). This may be compared to AJAX, which was nothing new, simply a brand on a set of things known since long, and understanding AJAX is not possible, there nothing to understand about it, while there are things to understand about what it branded. And especially about OO and DB, I know there are complains OO hides too much the data model of DBs (I feel to see). -- Yannick Duch?ne
