Abstract

The authors present the example of the DAMASCUS system as an approach to upgrading an existing DBMS with complex objects to support the whole palette of object-oriented features. They show how their current system fits into the overall architecture and which concepts and components have to be added. The resulting DBMS is projected as a data repository for nonstandard applications programmed in object-oriented as well as conventional languages. The authors claim that their approach can be regarded as a general one for nonstandard DBMS kernels
