ADAM and Object Database

[Useko Netsumi]

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.

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.
