Abstract

A query under an object-oriented data model exhibits characteristics which one finds in a relational query and those which clearly separate it from a relational query. The differences in turn have interesting impacts on the complexity of and strategy for query evaluation in object-oriented databases. The authors develop a model of a query under an object-oriented data model, and analyze the fundamental differences in the semantics of queries in object-oriented databases and relational databases.
