A relational dbms conforming to an architecture which incorporates a physical storage language and a physical navigation language
Beverly A. Dutton, Ching-hua Chen, James R. Driscoll · 2005
A compiling system which implements a rela tional DBMS is described. The compiling system is part of a unique architecture designed to simplify DBMS implementation. The architecture specifies an interface defined by basic physical storage constructs for specifying actual data storage structure, and primitive physical navigation operations for implementing data manipulation commands. The compiling system described here maps a relational user view to this interface.
