Abstract

The automation of a conceptual schema translation to design a database using CASE tools is one of the multiple efforts devoted to face the problems of database modeling. These tools often do not take into account all the information (structures and constraints) of the real word. Our goal is to enrich these tools and to improve them in order to take into account a big number of the defined constraints. We aim to combine the advantages of the object and relational approaches. So, constraints in object databases are expressed in OCL while they are expressed in relational databases by using active mechanisms.
