Predrag Stanisic: Database Transformation from Relational to Object-Oriented Database and Corresponding Query Translation CSIT 1999 : 199-208

Abstract

The problem of database transformation from relational to object-oriented database occurs when using heterogeneous databases and when moving from a relational to an object-oriented database management system. The process of conversion of a database from one data model to another can be divided in two phases: schema transformation from one model to another and data migration in accordance with schema transformation. When converting applications, that work with a relational database into applications that work with an object-oriented database, query translation problem occurs. In this paper we propose algorithms for imlementation of all three phases, which enables the automatization of conversion process.
