From the Paper:
"Object-oriented database management system (ODBMS) vendors were hopeful that future applications would be implemented with pure object-oriented systems (Devarakonda, 2001). Initially, these systems looked promising, but they were unable to live up to the expectations. A new technology has evolved in which relational and object-oriented concepts have been combined or merged. These systems are called object-relational database management systems (ORDBMS). ORDBMSs best ODBMSs in most situations because they can provide massive scalability as well as object-oriented features. Today, ODBMS use is mostly confined to niche applications where the data being managed falls into hierarchical structures with numerous and somewhat unpredictable relationships between data objects."
