C++ Object Databases


Book Description

Written by ODGM's C++ representative, this pragmatic guidebook is the first comprehensive introduction to programming object-oriented databases with OQL. It offers comparisons with SQL, with which readers are already familiar, as a bridge to understanding OQL and as a means of contrasting object-oriented versus relational database development.




The Object Database Standard


Book Description

A major revision of the standard for object database management systems (ODBMSs), this book represents an important industry consensus on component technology for database products and languages, enabling wide acceptance and adoption of object database technology. This revision adds coverage of Java bindings to the updated material on C++ and SmallTalk.




Object Databases


Book Description

This volume conveys the important facts and concepts business professionals need in order to understand the role of object databases in today's rapidly evolving computing environments. Covering all aspects of the essentials of object database technology without requiring advanced technical knowledge, this book makes an excellent introductory reference for database experts and non-experts alike.




Object Oriented Programming With C++


Book Description

In older times, classic procedure-oriented programming was used to solve real-world problems by fitting them in a few, predetermined data types. However, with the advent of object-oriented programming, models could be created for real-life systems. With the concept gaining popularity, its field of research and application has also grown to become one of the major disciplines of software development. With Object-Oriented Programming with C++, the authors offer an in- depth view of this concept with the help of C++, right from its origin to real programming level. With a major thrust on control statements, structures and functions, pointers, polymorphism, inheritance and reusability, file and exception handling, and templates, this book is a resourceful cache of programs-bridging the gap between theory and application. To make the book student- friendly, the authors have supplemented difficult topics with illustrations and programs. Put forth in a lucid language and simple style to benefit all types of learner, Object-Oriented Programming with C++ is packaged with review questions for self-learning.




Fundamentals of Object Databases


Book Description

Object-oriented databases were originally developed as an alternative to relational database technology for the representation, storage, and access of non-traditional data forms that were increasingly found in advanced applications of database technology. After much debate regarding object-oriented versus relational database technology, object-oriented extensions were eventually incorporated into relational technology to create object-relational databases. Both object-oriented databases and object-relational databases, collectively known as object databases, provide inherent support for object features, such as object identity, classes, inheritance hierarchies, and associations between classes using object references. This monograph presents the fundamentals of object databases, with a specific focus on conceptual modeling of object database designs. After an introduction to the fundamental concepts of object-oriented data, the monograph provides a review of object-oriented conceptual modeling techniques using side-by-side Enhanced Entity Relationship diagrams and Unified Modeling Language conceptual class diagrams that feature class hierarchies with specialization constraints and object associations. These object-oriented conceptual models provide the basis for introducing case studies that illustrate the use of object features within the design of object-oriented and object-relational databases. For the object-oriented database perspective, the Object Data Management Group data definition language provides a portable, language-independent specification of an object schema, together with an SQL-like object query language. LINQ (Language INtegrated Query) is presented as a case study of an object query language together with its use in the db4o open-source object-oriented database. For the object-relational perspective, the object-relational features of the SQL standard are presented together with an accompanying case study of the object-relational features of Oracle. For completeness of coverage, an appendix provides a mapping of object-oriented conceptual designs to the relational model and its associated constraints.

Objects and Databases


Book Description

These post-proceedings contain the revised versions of the papers presented at the \Symposium on Objects and Databases" which was held in Sophia-Antipolis, France, June 13, 2000, in conjunction with the Fourteenth European Conference on Object-Oriented Programming, ECOOP 2000. This event continued the t- dition established the year before in Lisbon (Portugal) with the First Workshop on Object-Oriented Databases. The goal of the symposium was to bring together researchers working in various corners of the eld of objects and databases, to discuss the current state of research in the eld and to critically evaluate existing solutions in terms of their current usage, their successes and limitations, and their potential for new applications. The organizing committee received 21 papers which were reviewed by a p- gram committee of people active in the eld of objects and databases. There were 3 reviews for each paper, and nally the organizing committee selected 9 long papers, 2 short papers, and a demonstration to be presented and discussed at the symposium. The selected papers cover a wide spectrum of topics, including data modeling concepts, persistent object languages, consistency and integrity of persistent data, storage structures, class versioning and schema evolution, query languages, and temporal object-oriented databases. In addition to the regular papers, the symposium included an invited p- sentation, given by Prof. Malcolm Atkinson from the University of Glasgow (Scotland) where he heads the Persistence and Distribution Group.




The Object Data Standard


Book Description

ODMG is a widely accepted standard for object database modelling; every year more companies implement it. ODMG 3.0 integrates programming languages with databases and ensures the portability of applications across platforms and DBMS products.




Object Oriented Programming with C++, 2nd Edition


Book Description

The revised edition of Object-Oriented Programming with C++ has become more comprehensive with the inclusion of several topics. Like its previous edition, it provides an in-depth coverage of basic, as well as advanced concepts of object-oriented programming such as encapsulation, abstraction, inheritance, polymorphism, dynamic binding, templates, exception handling, streams, and Standard Template Library (STL) and their implementation through C++. Besides, the revised edition includes a chapter on multithreading. The book meets the requirements of students enrolled in various courses at undergraduate and postgraduate levels, including BTech, BE, BCA, BSc, MSc, and MCA. It is also useful for software developers who wish to expand their knowledge of C++. New in This Edition • Inclusion of topics like empty class, anonymous objects, recursive constructors and object slicing. • A chapter on multithreading explaining how concurrency is implemented in C++. Key Features • Presentation for easy grasp through chapter objectives, suitable tables, diagrams and programming examples. • Notes and key points provided to make the reader self-sufficient. • Examination-oriented approach through objective and descriptive questions at the end of each chapter to help students in the preparation for annual and semester tests
