Persistent Languages: Introduction and Overview

  • Chapter
Fully Integrated Data Environments

Part of the book series: Esprit Basic Research Series ((ESPRIT BASIC))

Abstract

Persistent programming languages are designed to support the construction of persistent application systems which have the potential to be long-lived, concurrently accessed and consist of large bodies of data and programs. Well designed programming languages have two important effects: they provide better notations enhancing and accelerating descriptions, for example definition of schemata via data definition languages or definition of process via programming languages, and they demand the development of clean and precise understanding of the underlying concepts. FIDE therefore paid particular attention to the integration of databases and programming languages focusing on those issues peculiar to persistent application systems.
