Abstract

Previous research on materialized views has primarily been in the context of flat relational databases—materialized views defined in terms of one or more flat relations. This paper discusses a broader class of view definitions-materialized views defined over a nested data model such as the nested relational model or an object-oriented data model. An attribute of a tuple deriving the view can be a reference (i.e., a pointer) to a nested relation, with arbitrary levels of nesting possible. The extended capability of this nested data model, together with materialized views, simplifies data modeling and gives more flexibility.
