This paper initially presents a brief but fairly exhaustive survey of solutions to the concurrency control problem for B-trees. We then propose a new solution, which is characteri...
We describe the integration of a structuredtext retrieval system (TextMachine) into an object-oriented database system (OpenODB). We use the external function capability of the da...
A join index hierarchy method is proposed to handle the "goto's on disk" problem in objectoriented query processing. The method constructs a hierarchy of join indic...
Object-oriented database OODB users bring with them large quantities of legacy data megabytes and even gigabytes. In addition, scienti c OODB users continually generate new data. ...
Physical data independence is touted as a central feature of modern database systems. Both relational and object-oriented systems, however, force users to frame their queries in t...

In this paper, we consider various spatial relationships that are of general interest in pictorial database systems. We present a set of rules that allow us to deduce new relation...
