In comparison to RDBMSs, the use of OODBMSs is still relatively limited. This means that we do not yet have the level of experience that we have with traditional systems. OODBMSs are still very much geared towards the programmer, rather than the naïve end-user. Furthermore, the learning curve for the design and management of OODBMSs may be steep, resulting in resistance to the acceptance of the technology. While the OODBMS is limited to a small niche market, this problem will continue to exist.
