Abstract

In this paper, we describe the 0₂ database programming language as it is currently implemented. We first show how 0₂ provides the user with both objects andcomplex values. Then, we present the persistence management of 0₂. We describe how objects are encapsulated and manipulated through methods and how values are directly accessible through operators. We also present the subtyping and inheritance relationships in 0₂ together with the type-checking mechanism. Finally, we mention some interesting features which deal with exceptions and we make a comparison between 0₂ and several other object-oriented database systems.
