Abstract

There is a growing need for tools which ease the close interworking of pre-existing relational databases and evolving object-oriented databases and applications. The IRO-DB ESPRIT project is defined to meet the need of this kind of requirements. It develops tools for accessing in an integrated way relational and object-oriented databases and for designing and maintaining integrated applications on large federations of heterogeneous databases. This paper focuses on query processing in IRO-DB. The query processor manages queries against integrated object views. To assume its efficiency, the query processor proposes different alternatives for query evaluation by defining several optimization rules which minimise remote accesses and object transfers.

This work is initiated and partially supported by the European IRO-DB ESPRIT project. The project is developed in cooperation with GMD, FAW, GOPAS, IBERMATICA, EDS, EURIWARE, INTRASOFT and 02 Technology. PRiSM acts as a subcontractor of both Euriware and EDS.
