Logical Design of Generalizations in Object-Relational Databases
Johann Eder, Simone Kanzian · 2004
Abstract. The richer data models of object relational databases opens many more options for the logical design of a database schema increasing the complexity of logical database design enormously. Focusing on gen-eralization constructs of conceptual models we explore the performance implications of the various design alternatives for mapping generaliza-tions into the schema of an object-relational database system. 1
