Abstract

Database systems today have evolved a great deal from the first storage structures, towards greater data independence, expressive power in manipulation languages, and expressive power in data models. But their facilities are still poor substitutes for analogues in programming languages: data abstraction, structured control constructs and type systems respectively. Most programming languages, on the other hand, deal inadequately (if at all) with the question of long-lived structured data. The problem is compounded when dealing with both a database system and a programming language that are alien to each other (as is common today).
