Partitioning schemes for object oriented databases
K. Karlaplem, Qing Li · 2002
In order to support homogeneous distributed object oriented database systems we need to have a clear understanding of what is meant by partitioning a class and what are the different ways of doing so. In this paper, we concentrate an studying the different types of class partitioning schemes that can arise in object oriented databases. By laying down the foundation, by articulating the concepts, representation, and implementation approaches for partitioning object databases, we facilitate further work on partitioning algorithms, query decomposition, optimization and transaction management for distributed OODBMS.>
