Abstract

We present an Ada-based methodology for developing database applications. When using this methodology an application programmer needs to concern himself mainly with high-level schema types and associated object declarations, while the access to the database is non-procedural, automatic, and through a small number of semantically well-defined subprogram calls. A prototype implementation of this methodology confirmed our expectations regarding the ease of use, portability and high programmer productivity.
