JDBM is a transactional persistence engine for Java. It aims to be for Java what GDBM is for other languages (C/C++, Python, Perl, etc.): a fast, simple persistence engine. You can use it to store a mix of objects and BLOBs, and all updates are done in a transactionally safe manner. JDBM also provides scalable data structures, such as HTree and B+Tree, to support persistence of large object collections.
Orient is a true ODBMS (Object Data Base Management System). It can store and retrieve objects to database without any conversion. With Orient you don't write a line of code to persist objects.
