From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   -oid suff.   [from Greek suffix -oid = `in the image of'] 1.
   Used as in mainstream slang English to indicate a poor imitation, a
   counterfeit, or some otherwise slightly bogus resemblance.   Hackers
   will happily use it with all sorts of non-Greco/Latin stem words
   that wouldn't keep company with it in mainstream English.   For
   example, "He's a nerdoid" means that he superficially resembles a
   nerd but can't make the grade; a `modemoid' might be a 300-baud box
   (Real Modems run at 28.8 or up); a `computeroid' might be any {bitty
   box}.   The word `keyboid' could be used to describe a {chiclet
   keyboard}, but would have to be written; spoken, it would confuse
   the listener as to the speaker's city of origin.   2. More
   specifically, an indicator for `resembling an android' which in the
   past has been confined to science-fiction fans and hackers.   It too
   has recently (in 1991) started to go mainstream (most notably in the
   term `trendoid' for victims of terminal hipness).   This is probably
   traceable to the popularization of the term {droid} in "Star Wars"
   and its sequels.   (See also {windoid}.)
  
      Coinages in both forms have been common in science fiction for at
   least fifty years, and hackers (who are often SF fans) have probably
   been making `-oid' jargon for almost that long [though GLS and I can
   personally confirm only that they were already common in the
   mid-1970s --ESR].

   Ode
  
      An {Object-Oriented Database} from {AT&T} which extends {C++}
      and supports fast queries, complex application modelling and
      {multimedia}.
  
      Ode uses one integrated data model ({C++} {class}es) for both
      database and general purpose manipulation.   An Ode database is
      a collection of {persistent} {object}s.   It is defined,
      queried and manipulated using the language {O++}.   O++
      programs can be compiled with C++ programs, thus allowing the
      use of existing C++ code.   O++ provides facilities for
      specifying transactions, creating and manipulating persistent
      objects, querying the database and creating and manipulating
      versions.
  
      The Ode object database provides four object compatible
      mechanisms for manipulating and querying the database.   As
      well as O++ there are OdeView - an {X Window System}
      interface; OdeFS (a file system interface allowing objects to
      be treated and manipulated like normal Unix files); and CQL++,
      a {C++} variant of {SQL} for easing the transition from
      {relational database}s to OODBs such as Ode.
  
      Ode supports large objects (critical for {multimedia}
      applications).   Ode tracks the relationship between versions
      of objects and provides facilities for accessing different
      versions.   Transactions can be specified as read-only; such
      transactions are faster because they are not logged and they
      are less likely to {deadlock}.   'Hypothetical' transactions
      allow users to pose "what-if" scenarios (as with
      {spreadsheet}s).
  
      EOS, the {storage engine} of Ode, is based on a client-server
      architecture.   EOS supports {concurrency} based on
      {multi-granularity} two-version two-phase locking; it allows
      many readers and one writer to access the same item
      simultaneously.   Standard two-phase locking is also available.
      Ode supports both a {client-server} mode for multiple users
      with concurrent access and a single user mode giving improved
      performance.
  
      Ode 3.0 is currently being used as the {multimedia} {database
      engine} for {AT&T}'s {Interactive TV} project.   Ode 2.0 has
      also been distributed to more than 80 sites within AT&T and
      more than 340 universities.   Ode is available free to
      universities under a non-disclosure agreement.   The current
      version, 3.0, is available only for {Sun} {SPARCstations}
      running {SunOS} 4.1.3 and {Solaris} 2.3.   Ode is being ported
      to {Microsoft} {Windows NT}, {Windows 95} and {SGI}
      {platform}s.

      6:13; Jer. 4:2), in various forms (Gen. 16:5; 2 Sam. 12:5; Ruth
      1:17; Hos. 4:15; Rom. 1:9), and taken in different ways (Gen.
      14:22; 24:2; 2 Chr. 6:22). God is represented as taking an oath
      (Heb. 6:16-18), so also Christ (Matt. 26:64), and Paul (Rom.
      9:1; Gal. 1:20; Phil. 1:8). The precept, "Swear not at all,"
      refers probably to ordinary conversation between man and man
      (Matt. 5:34,37). But if the words are taken as referring to
      oaths, then their intention may have been to show "that the
      proper state of Christians is to require no oaths; that when
      evil is expelled from among them every yea and nay will be as
      decisive as an oath, every promise as binding as a vow."
