Abstract

A programming environment (PE) consists of a multitude of different tools. The cooperation between the tools is crucial to the overall functionality and performance of the PE.This paper argues that a common underlying database can facilitate tool cooperation, and that IDL can be used to describe the interface between the tools and the database management system (DBMS).
