Abstract

The Ode object-oriented database provides facilities for associating constraints and triggers with objects. Constraints and triggers are associated with class (object type) definitions which makes them easy to read, to implement, and to blend with object inheritance. In this paper, we state our design goals in providing trigger and constraint facilities for an object-oriented database, describe the constraint and trigger facilities in Ode, their implementation, and illustrate their use. Although triggers and constraints can be implemented by similar mechanisms, we point out the significant conceptual differences. We also discuss related issues such as intra- object versus inter-object constraints and triggers, coupling modes, order and environment of invocation.
