  From  The  Free  On-line  Dictionary  of  Computing  (13  Mar  01)  [foldoc]: 
 
  Ode 
 
  An  {Object-Oriented  Database}  from  {AT&T}  which  extends  {C++} 
  and  supports  fast  queries,  complex  application  modelling  and 
  {multimedia}. 
 
  Ode  uses  one  integrated  data  model  ({C++}  {class}es)  for  both 
  database  and  general  purpose  manipulation.  An  Ode  database  is 
  a  collection  of  {persistent}  {object}s.  It  is  defined, 
  queried  and  manipulated  using  the  language  {O++}.  O++ 
  programs  can  be  compiled  with  C++  programs,  thus  allowing  the 
  use  of  existing  C++  code.  O++  provides  facilities  for 
  specifying  transactions,  creating  and  manipulating  persistent 
  objects,  querying  the  database  and  creating  and  manipulating 
  versions. 
 
  The  Ode  object  database  provides  four  object  compatible 
  mechanisms  for  manipulating  and  querying  the  database.  As 
  well  as  O++  there  are  OdeView  -  an  {X  Window  System} 
  interface;  OdeFS  (a  file  system  interface  allowing  objects  to 
  be  treated  and  manipulated  like  normal  Unix  files);  and  CQL++, 
  a  {C++}  variant  of  {SQL}  for  easing  the  transition  from 
  {relational  database}s  to  OODBs  such  as  Ode. 
 
  Ode  supports  large  objects  (critical  for  {multimedia} 
  applications).  Ode  tracks  the  relationship  between  versions 
  of  objects  and  provides  facilities  for  accessing  different 
  versions.  Transactions  can  be  specified  as  read-only;  such 
  transactions  are  faster  because  they  are  not  logged  and  they 
  are  less  likely  to  {deadlock}.  'Hypothetical'  transactions 
  allow  users  to  pose  "what-if"  scenarios  (as  with 
  {spreadsheet}s). 
 
  EOS,  the  {storage  engine}  of  Ode,  is  based  on  a  client-server 
  architecture.  EOS  supports  {concurrency}  based  on 
  {multi-granularity}  two-version  two-phase  locking;  it  allows 
  many  readers  and  one  writer  to  access  the  same  item 
  simultaneously.  Standard  two-phase  locking  is  also  available. 
  Ode  supports  both  a  {client-server}  mode  for  multiple  users 
  with  concurrent  access  and  a  single  user  mode  giving  improved 
  performance. 
 
  Ode  3.0  is  currently  being  used  as  the  {multimedia}  {database 
  engine}  for  {AT&T}'s  {Interactive  TV}  project.  Ode  2.0  has 
  also  been  distributed  to  more  than  80  sites  within  AT&T  and 
  more  than  340  universities.  Ode  is  available  free  to 
  universities  under  a  non-disclosure  agreement.  The  current 
  version,  3.0,  is  available  only  for  {Sun}  {SPARCstations} 
  running  {SunOS}  4.1.3  and  {Solaris}  2.3.  Ode  is  being  ported 
  to  {Microsoft}  {Windows  NT},  {Windows  95}  and  {SGI} 
  {platform}s.
