Abstract

This paper describes the design of storage and access structures for a high performance Ada compatible database management system. This system supports the database application programming language ADAPLEX [Smith81, Smith82], which is the result of embedding the database DAPLEX [Shipman 81] sublanguage in the general purpose language Ada [DoD80]. A prominent feature of the underlying data model is its support for general- ization hierarchies [Smith77] which are intended to simplify the mapping from conceptual entities to database objects. An in-depth discussion of the rationale behind our choice of storage and access structures to support semantics intrinsic to the data model and to permit physical database organization tuning is provided in this paper.
