- ADAM and Object Database
- Posted by Useko Netsumi on July 2nd, 2004
Up to these days, I'm still puzzled to distinguish the difference between
ADAM(ActiveDirectory Application Mode) and the Object Databases. Can someone
shed me some lights -
thanks

ADAM can be used as an object database. The main thing to consider is that
you must program it using an LDAP API instead of a SQL API and must use
standard LDAP tools and techniques to extend the schema.

ADAM Technical Reference has a section on "LDAP Directories Compared to
Relational Databases". This section would help you understand the
considerations for decision on whether to go with a database or directory.
http://www.microsoft.com/adam has a link to the Tech Ref.

But comparing LDAP with Relational DBMS(RDBMS) is not apple-to-apple
comparison, isn't it?. Perhaps with ODBMS is more inline since both are
object oriented in nature.
