An interface for rapid prototyping and evolutionary support of database-intensive applications
Kevin J. Lynch, L.M. Hoopes · 2003
The authors present a programmer interface that enables rapid prototyping and evolutionary support of the database portion of applications. The interface supports flexible, rapid application development, and insulates applications from the underlying data model and database schema changes. The interface comprises a set of routines that allow the programmer to use logical objects and the logical relationships between objects to implement queries against a given database in a nonprocedural fashion. These routines implement a generic query processor that produces syntactically correct queries using only the object relationships existing at run time.>
