Features: This book is based on the object-oriented database management system Angel, which is developed from the ground up. Building on an in-depth analysis of domestic and international research findings, it discusses the principles and implementation techniques of object-relational database systems, a currently most widely used and important type of database management system. As the first comprehensive, systematic, and in-depth monograph in China to elaborate on the design philosophy and implementation techniques of object-relational database management systems, this book achieves an organic integration of object-oriented and relational technologies in aspects such as base class extension, support for complex objects, inheritance semantics and dynamic schema modification, reference semantics, active rules, and security mechanisms. Its content covers all aspects of object-relational systems, including data models, query algebra, and query languages. The book is rigorous in its arguments, novel in content, well-structured, and fluently written, making it suitable as a textbook for database courses for computer science graduate students, as well as a reference for database software professionals or university instructors.
