* 07/16/96 Introduction OO is the predominant approach used to build mainstream B systems RDBMS are the most prevalent implementation of data stores OO design models problem domain as real-world objects, RD development is to normalize data O-R modelling is a necessary but not sufficient to build strong and flexible systems 1) Object-oriented and object-based technology is the predominant approach used to build mainstream business systems 2) Relational database management systems are the most prevalent implementation of back-end physical data stores for business applications 3) objective of relational database development is to normalize data whereas the goal of object-oriented design is to model the problem domain as real-world objects. The result is an object-relational chasm. 4) The utilization of a scaleable and flexible mapping framework is a critical success factor for object-relational systems 4/17/2019 *

Relational Database Design * 07/16/96 Relational Database Design The relational model is composed of entities and relations. Figure 1 illustrates LINEITEM and PRODUCT tables and various relationship between them An entity has columns. Each column is identified by a name and a type. In the example, the LINEITEM table has Description, Id, Number, Order_Id, and Quantity columns An entity has records or rows. Each row represents a unique tuple of information which typically represents an object's persistent data. Each entity has one or more primary keys. The primary keys uniquely identifies each record (e.g. Id is the primary key for LINEITEM table). Support for relations is vendor specific. The example illustrates the logical model and the relation between the PRODUCT and LINEITEM tables. In the physical model relations are typically implemented using foreign key / primary key references. If one entity relates to another, it will contain columns which are foreign keys. Foreign key columns contain data which can relate specific records in the entity to the related entity. Relations have multiplicity(also known as cardinality). Common cardinalities are one to one (1:1), one to many (1:m), many to one (m:1), and many to many (m:n). In the example, LINEITEM has a 1:1 relationship with PRODUCT and PRODUCT has a 0:m relationship with LINEITEM. Figure 1 4/17/2019 *

* 07/16/96 Object Model Design An object model contains classes Figure 2 illustrates a simple object model. The LineItem class has attributes and behavior. LineItem implements the behavior (method) calculateTotal Relationships in an object model are explicitly represented as attributes. The LineItem class has an attribute product. The product attribute contains an instance of the Product class (or one of its subclasses). There is no relationship navigation through primary/foreign keys as required in relational databases. The object model supports inheritance. A class can inherit data and behavior from another class (e.g. SoftwareProduct and HardwareProduct products inherit attributes and methods from Product class).

Java Blend v2.0 Components are: Mapping tool: A GUI for mapping between database schema and Java programming language classes The Preprocess program: The preprocess program - Preprocesses .xjava Java programming language source files and .oql OQL source files Runtime libraries - Accessed by means of the Java Blend API, a set of Java language routines for access to Java Blend objects, and the underlying database. Application programmers use these methods. 4/17/2019

Java Blend Example application that queries and updates data about customers and their sales orders. CREATE TABLE customer { custid INTEGER NOT NULL, address VARCHAR (50), rep INTEGER, PK_custid PRIMARY KEY (custid), FK_salesrep FOREIGN KEY (rep) REFERENCES salesrep (repid) ) } Equivalent class is class Customer implements PersistenceCapable { int custID; String address; SalesRep rep; }; 4/17/2019
