An Implementation of the SQL Functions for an Object Oriented Data Base

Abstract

We are developing an object oriented DB with Prolog as its host language. The development is done as one part of our EUD research. This paper discusses an implementation of the SQL function for the combination of the DB and Prolog. Although the objective of an object oriented DB and that of the SQL function are different from each other, our EUD requires our system to handle tables as SQL does. This paper presents a realization of the SQL function within the framework of our system. We observed that the system works as efficient as SQL does on handling with tables.
