Implementing Lazy Database Updates for an Object Database System

Current object database management systems support user-defined conversion functions to update the database once the schema has been modified. Two main strategies are possible when implementing such database conversion functions: immediate or lasy database updates. In this paper, we concentrate our attention to the definition of implementation strategies for conversion functions implemented as lasy database updates.
