The Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility (CEBAF) uses an object oriented database for management of most control system data. This includes algorithmic detail of low- level controls, operationally specified control parameters and high- level modeling data describing the accelerator. Tools have been built to support a number of database users, including developers of both low- level and high- level software, machine operators and accelerator physicists. The database is both flexible and fast, and has proven to be an ideal tool for meeting the diverse needs of its users.
