Abstract

A description is given of the characteristics for Odin/C++, which is the language used for the authors' object-oriented database management system, called Odin. In particular, these characteristics include the concept that classes are persistent objects. A set class and a joined class are supported, in order to easily manipulate a set of objects in a database. To operate the set of objects, instance methods, such as selection, join, and so on, are supported. Furthermore, the declarative description is introduced into the procedural language C++. Two kinds of view mechanism represent other characteristics in Odin. One is a view mechanism for the conceptual level. Another view is for the physical level, called physical structure virtualization. >
