| The following list describes some of the advantages of using an OQL-based querying language: |
| |
| - You can query on any arbitrary object |
| - You can navigate object collections |
| - You can invoke methods and access the behavior of objects |
| - Data mapping is supported |
| - You are not required to declare types. Since you do not need type definitions, you can work across multiple languages |
| - You are not constrained by a schema |
