I am guess you mean OO in the database world.

Object-oriented databases which store objects never did really catch one so you are currently looking mapping objects to relational database. ORM or Object-relational mapping is the term used to describe the software that does this mapping. Ideally this gives you the best of both worlds where developers can internact with the objects and in the database everything is stored in relational tables where standard tuning can take place.
