GIỚI THIỆU

Object-Database

Support more complex kinds of data

• Object-Oriented Database Systems

• Object-Relational Database Systems

Two paths

Good for apps where complex objects play a central role Influenced by object-oriented PLs

An attempt to add DBMS functionality to a PL environment Object Data Model & Object Query Language are developed

Extend relational database systems with the functionality necessary to support a broader class of applications Bridge between relational and object-oriented paradigms

RDBMS vendors are adding ORDBMS functionality

ModelConcepts

Relational model concept

Object model concept

Object model benifits

Data abstractio

n

Intersection entities and indexing to represent references between tuples.

Object identification (OIDS) to directly represent references between objects.

Simpler shcema to represent complex data.

Inheritance

Type codes. Class hierachy. Direct representation of the references between type and subtypes as well as support for specialized processing for each subtype.

Encapsulation

"If then else if" code based on type codes and management of the code, usually with libraries.

Encapsulation provides built-in dispatching to ensure the correct code executes on the correct data.

Reduced application code and reduced chance of error where the wrong code executes on the right data.Theo slide ODBMS, Hong Yang, NJIT

HOW ODB WORK?

from Wikipedia

MOTIVATING EXAMPLE

Dinky Entertainment Company

Assets: collection of cartoon characters

Especially: Herbert the Worm

Also licensing Herbert’s image, voice, video

DB: products & films

NEW DATA TYPES

User-defined data types: Herbert’s image, voice, video footage

Object identity important to store references instead of copies of

objects Inheritance

Images

Compressed Low-resolution

High-resolution

IN RDBMS: BLOBs

Binary Large ObjectFurther processing by the user

application programNot efficient as we have to

retrieve all BLOBs in a collection

MANIPULATING THE NEW DATA

Cereal Company: Clog wants to lease an image of Herbert in front of a sunriseSELECT F.Frameno, thumbnail(F.image), C.lease_priceFROM Frames F, Categories CWHERE F.category = C.cid AND is_sunrise(F.image) AND is_herbert(F.image)

Frames(Frameno: integer, image: jpeg_image, category: integer)Categories(cid: integer, name: text, lease_price:float, comments: text)

Methods written in an imperative language like Java registered with a DBS: can be used in the same way as built-in methods such as =, +, -, <, >

Dinky executives want to make sure that a number of Herbert films are playing at theaters near Andorra when the cereal hits the shelvesSELECT N.theater->name, N.theater->address, F.titleFROM Nowshowing N, Films F, Countries CWHERE N.film = F.filmno AND overlaps(C.boundary, radius(N.theater->address,100)) AND C.name = ‘Andorra’ AND ‘Herbert the Worm’ = F.stars[1] theater attribute in Nowshowing is a reference to an object in another tablestars attribute of the Films table is a set of names of each film’s starsNowshowing and Films are joined by the equijoin clauseNowshowing and Countries are joined by the spatial overlap clause

MANIPULATING THE NEW DATA

ADDITIONAL FEATURES

User Defined Methods:User defined types are manipulated via

their own Methods, for example, is_herbert

Operators for Structured Types:For example, the ARRAY type supports standard array operation of accessing an element

Operators for Reference types: Reference types are dereferenced via an arrow (->) notation

SUMMARYTraditional relational systems offer limited

flexibility in the data types availableData is stored in tables and the type of

each field value is limited to simple atomic types

Limited type systems can be extended in three ways (complex types): User-defined data types Structured types Reference types
