PostgreSQL Object-Oriented Database? - Mailing list pgsql-general

Hi,

 

Thanks in advance for your help.

 

I have a lot of experience with object-oriented programming and relational databases, but I'm new to PostgreSQL.

 

My agency has a contractor that created a PostgreSQL database that he calls "object-oriented".  I noticed that the contractor has more than one value in a column separated by commas.  In the relational world, this obviously violates first normal form.  When I asked about it, he said that it's because PostgreSQL is an "object-oriented database".  I'm very skeptical.

 

Can someone tell me if this guy is right?

 

Thanks.
