Abstract
We present a viable approach to add rules capability or object orientation to legacy databases.
Using a combination of language compilation, run-time trigger mechanisms and inter-language call facility, we integrate an object-oriented logic programming language, called OOLP, with an existing CIM Database System Product, IBM’s CIM CDF.
The result is a system that provides storage management of complex objects, rule-based validation, object oriented knowledge modelling and declarative query capability.
