A framework for customizable schema evolution in object-oriented databases
Awais Rashid · 2003
This paper describes an evolution framework supporting customization of the schema evolution and instance adaptation approaches in an object database management system. The framework is implemented as an integral part of an interpreter for a language with a versioned type system and employs concepts from object-oriented frameworks and aspect-oriented programming to support flexible changes. Some example customizations currently implemented with the framework are also described.
