One of the key challenges facing Java developers is that their
object-oriented applications use data stored in relational databases. The
result: time- and cost-intensive mapping between the two paradigms.
InterSystems' Corporation develops and markets a post-relational database
management system called Caché that's designed to address this challenge by

We set out to test the capabilities of this database software from a Java
developer's perspective. Working with the latest release of the software,
Caché 5, we found the results impressive.
Caché’s unique combination of objects and SQL provides a very interesting
