Springer Index Data Structures in Object-Oriented Databases

Explore the complexities of database management with Index Data Structures in Object-Oriented Databases, part of the Advances in Database Systems series. This technical resource focuses on object-oriented database management systems (OODBMS) and their role in implementing and maintaining large object databases on persistent storage. Regardless of whether a database follows the object-oriented, relational, or object-relational paradigm, content-based access to data sets remains a fundamental requirement. This book examines how DBMS products provide user-friendly query interfaces based on predicates to describe desired data. It also addresses the difficult questions involved in DBMS design, implementation, and the application development process that occurs on top of these systems. This text is a valuable resource for those studying computer science, database design, and advanced computing architectures.
