In this part we will try to identify the differences these two models present that brings into fore the impedance-mismatch. I have created a data model and an object model and to keep the things simple for now, all of the objects map one to one with the data entities (tables). In addition, I will be using terms Table, Row, Column etc. rather than relation, tuple or attribute as these are easy to understand. Looking carefully at the two diagrams I am sure you can identify some of the most basic differences in the approaches the two methodologies take while defining entities.
There has always been a debate on how to represent data in an application and how it should be persisted in a backend RDBMS. Why can't there be a uniform methodology for both? It has been an eternal debate but we have to live with the fact that data is represented using object-oriented methodology within an application where as it is stored in the RDBMS in accordance with the relational theory. The inherent differences between these two approaches can be attributed to the fact that the underlying methodologies, i.e. Object-Oriented and Relational theories are based on sofware-engineering and mathematical principles respectively. And the difference in the way data is represented in relational and object-oriented world is termed as object-relational impedance mismatch.
