Abstract
A complete and efficient implementation of linear, one-side recursive queries in Iris, an object-oriented database management system, is described. It is shown that recursion can be easily and efficiently added to a large class of existing database management systems. A B-tree type access path called the B++ tree that has been implemented to support the computation of recursive functions in Iris is also described. The perforamnce of B++ trees is reviewed
