Transparent Dynamic Database Evolution from Java

: With the increasing provision by the ODMG standard and commercial OODBMS products for transparent access to the traditional database functionality of an OODBMS from Java, there is a need to provide Java programmers transparent access to advanced functionality such as dynamic evolution. This paper proposes a transparent API for the purpose. The API is based on a high-level object-oriented model. The application programmer interacts with the high-level model instead of interacting with the lower level model of the particular OODBMS. The various dynamic evolution features operate within the constraints of the Java type system. R
