  • The O/R Problem: Mapping Between Relational and Object-Oriented
    The O/R Problem: Mapping Between Relational and Object-Oriented Methodologies CIS515 Strategic Planning for Database Systems Ryan Somma StudenID: 9989060874 [email protected] Introduction Relational databases are set of tables defining the columns of the rows they contain, which are also conceptualized as relations defining the attributes of the tuples they store. Relational Database Management Systems (RDBMS) abstract the normalized relational structures underlying the system away from the user, allowing them to focus on the specific data they wish to extract from it. Through queries, they provide users the capability of joining sets in relations into reports, transforming data into information. Through normalization, they eliminate redundancy, ensuring there is only one source for each data element in the system, and improve integrity through relationships based on data keys and validation (Rob and Coronel, 2009). Although there are alternatives to RDBMS‟s, the top five database management systems for 2004 to 2006 were all relational (Olofson, 2007). Object orientation is a “set of design and development principles based on conceptually autonomous computer structures known as objects.” Object-oriented programming (OOP) takes related data elements and functions, known as properties and methods, and encapsulates them into objects that may interact with other objects via messaging or act upon themselves. This strategy reduces complexity in the system, hiding it within objects that are easier to understand as concepts rather than exposing their workings within a morass of procedural code. Additionally, OOP promotes reuse of coding solutions with classes, which are built to model a generalized set of properties and methods that are implemented in object instances, which reuse the class code.

  • Nosql - Notonly Sql
    International Journal of Enterprise Computing and Business Systems ISSN (Online) : 2230-8849 Volume 2 Issue 2 July 2013 International Manuscript ID : ISSN22308849-V2I2M3-072013 NOSQL - NOTONLY SQL Dr. S. George University of New Zealand Abstract A NoSQL database provides a mechanism for storage and retrieval of data that uses looser consistency models than traditional relational databases. Motivations for this approach include simplicity of design, horizontal scaling and finer control over availability. NoSQL databases are often highly optimized key–value stores intended for simple retrieval and appending operations, with the goal being significant performance benefits in terms of latency and throughput. NoSQL databases are finding significant and growing industry use in big data and real-time web applications. NoSQL systems are also referred to as "Not only SQL" to emphasize that they do in fact allow SQL-like query languages to be used. ACID vs BASE NoSQL cannot necessarily give full ACID guarantees. Usually eventual consistency is guaranteed or transactions limited to single data items. This means that given a sufficiently long period of time over which no changes are sent, all updates can be expected to propagate eventually through the system. [citation needed ]. Contents History Carlo Strozzi used the term NoSQL in 1998 to name his lightweight, open-source relational database that did not expose the standard SQL interface. Strozzi suggests that, as the International Journal of Enterprise Computing and Business Systems ISSN (Online) : 2230-8849 Volume 2 Issue 2 July 2013 International Manuscript ID : ISSN22308849-V2I2M3-072013 current NoSQL movement "departs from the relational model altogether; it should therefore have been called more appropriately 'NoREL'.

The University of Texas at Arlington, 2015 Supervising Professor: Ramez Elmasri NoSQL databases are rapidly becoming the customary data platform for big data applications. These databases are emerging as a gateway for more alternative approaches outside traditional relational databases and are characterized by efficient horizontal scalability, schema-less approach to data modeling, high performance data access, and limited querying capabilities. The lack of transactional semantics among NoSQL databases has made the application determine the choice of a particular con- sistency model.

To our best knowledge the In our poster, we are going to describe a REST/HTTP combination of the web caching model with database access database access protocol for object-oriented persistence that has not yet been researched or implemented and hence is a allows read requests to scale horizontally. Scalability is new strategy to make databases profit from web achieved by using Web Proxy Caches to serve database technologies. Web-caching is the scalability model objects, while keeping strong ACID transaction semantics implemented by the HTTP protocol [1]. We intend to show through optimistic verification mechanisms. We call this that the same scalability model that allows web sites to scale protocol Orestes (Objects RESTfully encapsulated in can also scale databases. standard formats) and validate the approach by comparative 3.
