Abstract

Database design Database schema Methodologies Object-oriented databases Survey Tools
In this paper, we survey the various methods and tools proposed for object-oriented database (OODB) schema design. An extensive survey of current literature in this area indicates that structural aspects of OODB are modeled separately from their dynamic behaviors. Even though some of them discuss both at the same time, they merely present either a specification language or notation to impose the operations onto the structure. Hence, we classify methodologies into two categories: first by their structure and behavior modeling; second by the way relationships are handled. Our survey will help us identify strengths and weaknesses of individual methodologies, as well as general guidelines for future improvements and extension of methods and tools. We summarize research issues for OODB schema design.
