Query Languages for Object-Oriented Database Systems: Analysis and a Proposal

Conference paper
Part of the Informatik-Fachberichte book series (INFORMATIK, volume 204)

Abstract

This paper discusses the problem of query languages for object-oriented database systems. We first discuss the general problem of designing such a language. Then we restrict ourselves to the specific context of the O 2 system. After presenting the main features of the system, we use its specificity to propose a query language. The query language is defined formally and through examples.
