Abstract

Object-oriented database management systems address complexity and conceptual modeling but lack standards, availability, and reliability. Object-oriented programming interfaces to object-oriented databases address application extendibility and flexibility but also lack standards. Relational database systems are available and robust, but their programming interfaces, although standardized, do not offer the benefits that object-oriented systems provide. This paper presents the requirements and design of the Table Objected-Oriented Language Interface (TOOLI), a database independent, SQL based, object-oriented application programming interface to relational database management systems. We give examples of inheritance structures used by TOOLI that represent different queries.
