Accessing Network Databases via SQL Transactions in a Multi-Model Database System

Abstract

Traditional approaches to database-system design and implementation involve single-model, single-language database systems with their inherent lack of flexibility and extensibility. An alternative to the traditional approach to database-system design and implementation is the multi-lingual database system (MLDS). This approach allows the user with the user's familiar data language to access and update one or more unfamiliar databases in different data models as if they are in the user's familiar data model. Thus, MLDS has the flexibility and extensibility in database accesses. In this thesis, we present a methodology for the relational user to access and update network databases with a relational data language. Specifically, we designed an interface for allowing the relations/SQL user to access a network database via SQL transactions. This thesis further extends the functionality of MLDS.
