Schema Integration For Object-Relational Databases With Data Verification

Abstract

Relational Database System (RDB) has been dominant in the industry for the last two decades. Object Oriented database application (OODB) is recognized as a post-relational technology that can improve productivity. Hence, most companies need to enhance their existing relational database systems to support new Object Oriented applications as and when needed. The trend of the current industrial is to implement an object-relational database system (ORDB) using a relational engine with OO features. This paper proposes a methodology to integrate existing ORDB based on user requirement. Data Exhaustive Search Algorithms (DESA) are used to examine data occurrence after data integration to provide confirmation of the consistence and correctness of the integrated schema. The result is a verified methodology for schema integration for Object Relational Database System.
