[GRASS5] OODBMS for GRASS

Respected Sir,
                 I am presently doing my Master in
  Engineering (M.E.) in Geoinformatics in the
Institute
  of Remote Sensing, Anna University, Chennai,India.
As
  part of my course I must complete a project on the
topic of " Object Oriented Cadastral Information
System " where I will be using a GRASS 6 GIS software.
I intend to change the existing database of GRASS 6
to Object Oriented Database using C++ or by any other
programming languages. But on interacting with the GIS
professionals through online, I am informed that this
project was not feasible and very difficult to
implement on the existing GRASS database. I am really
confused and desperate to know the truth for which
only experts on this GIS software will be able to help
me. Please let me know the feasibilty to execute this
thesis in 6 months. Also please inform me if C++ is
the best programming language to carry out this task
or if there is any other better language to work on
GRASS.

Someone who knows the DB stuff and OO programming better than myself
will have to comment on the viability, but GRASS is generally written in
C. C++ is supported though (eg r.terraflow; --with-cxx) and GRASS uses
C++ libraries (eg GDAL) extensively. The only experts I would take
advice from on this subject (w.r.t. GRASS 6) are the other developers on
this mailing list who know the GRASS internals....

As an alternative you might check out Saga GIS, it seems to be GPL, OO
oriented, and written in C++. http://www.saga-gis.org
