There have been significant theoretical advances in fuzzy database technology, yet commercially its successes have been negligible. This article examines the current state of this technology and suggests directions for future efforts. A framework for the analysis of fuzzy database technology is proposed and extant models are examined with reference to this framework. Fuzzy databases are studied in relation to the requirements of the database community. It is argued that new generation applications and object‐oriented databases hold the key to the future commercial acceptability of this technology. © 1996 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
