Proposes a solution for the construction of a relational front-end for object-oriented database systems (OODBs). Rules are provided to transform the structural part of an OODB scheme to an equivalent relational scheme to provide relational users with a relational view of the OODB scheme. A mechanism based on a relational predicate graph and an OODB predicate graph is provided to translate relational queries to OODB queries to allow relational users access to data stored in an OODB database system. >
