Abstract
When transforming relational database (RDB) schema into object-oriented database(OODB) schema, much effort was put on examining key and inclusion dependency (ID) constraints to identify class and establish inheritance and association between classes. However, in order to further remove the original data redundancy and update anomaly, multi-valued dependency (MVD) should also be examined. In this paper, we discuss class structures and define well-structured classes. Based on MVDs, a theorem is given transforming a relation schema into a well-structured class. To transform RDB schema into OODB schema, a composition process simplifying the input RDB schema and an algorithm transforming the simplified RDB schema into well-structured OODB classes are developed.
