An Efficient OODB Model for Ensuring the Integrity of User-Defined Constraints

In this paper, a new structural model is proposed to ease the checking of the integrity constraints in an object-oriented database system. The structure accepts declarative global specification of constraints including user-defined p ]constraint, and an efficient representation that permits localized constraints checking. A new method called “Detection” is added to the structure to check the status of violation of the relations in an object-oriented database. The new approach is demonstrated using ALICE rule.
