First generation is the hierarchical and network DBMSs. Second generation is the relational DBMSs. Third generation is the object-oriented and object-relational DBMSs. See Section 27.1. 27.2 Compare and contrast the different definitions of object-oriented data models. Discussion of definitions provided in Section 27.2.1. 27.3 Describe the main modeling primitives of the functional data model. The main modeling primitives are entities and functional relationships (see Section 27.2.2). 27.4 What is a persistent programming language and how does it differ from an OODBMS? A language that provides its users with the ability to (transparently) preserve data across successive executions of a program, and even allows such data to be used by different programs (see Section 27.2.3). Main difference between PPL and OODBMS is that the OODBMS tends to provide more DBMS-related services. 27.5 Discuss the difference between the two-level storage model used by conventional DBMSs and the single-level storage model used by OODBMSs. See Section 27.3. 27.6 How does this single-level storage model affect data access? See Section 27.3. 27.7 Describe the main strategies that can be used to create persistent objects. Checkpointing, serialization, and explicit paging. Explicit paging includes reachability-based and allocation-based persistence (see Section 27.3.3). 27.8 What is pointer swizzling? Discuss the different approaches to pointer swizzling. Action of converting OIDs to main memory pointers (See Section 27.3.1). 27.9 Describe the types of transacti
