Uduak Augustine Umoh, E. O. Nwachukwu, Imo Eyoh, Augustine A. Umoh · 2009
In this paper, we adopt a state-of-the-art technology to design an Object-Oriented Database Management System (OODBMS) for the management of information in Nigerian Universities. We apply the object-oriented design tools to create a database model that is reliable, dependable and secure. We focus on creating a unified modeling language (UML) structure by specifying the use case, classes, and activities in the client-server application. The design strategies of the web-based OODBMS are also discussed and a server-based application with sate-of-the-art facilities expected. We develop a working prototype of the system on a three-tier client server architecture based on the advantages discussed in the work MySQL DBMS, Apache web server, and PHP server pages are adopted as system development tools. We apply existing client-server and database technologies to provide an object-oriented web-based, data-retrieval system for the Universities that will enable access by the various users at all times.
