QUERY DERIVED COMMUNICATION MECHANISM FOR COMMUNICATION BETWEEN RELATIONAL DATABASES AND OBJECT-BASED COMPUTING ENVIRONMENTS AND SYSTEMS

摘要

Techniques for providing communication mechanisms between object-based and relational database systems are disclosed. A communication mechanism (e.g., a Web service) can be effectively derived from one or more query statements (e.g., SQL statements) based on a mapping to the objects of the object-based system. The communication mechanism can be generated in a Top-Down or Contract-First approach based on definitions and/or metadata needed to effectively construct the communication mechanism.
