©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Object-Relational Data Models
Extend the relational data model by including object orientation and constructs to
deal with added data types.
Allow attributes of tuples to have complex types, including non-atomic values such
as nested relations.
Preserve relational foundations, in particular the declarative access to data, while
extending modeling power.
Upward compatibility with existing relational languages.
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.3
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Complex Data Types
Motivation:
Permit non-atomic domains (atomic indivisible)
Example of non-atomic domain: set of integers,or set of tuples
Allows more intuitive modeling for applications with complex data
Intuitive definition:
allow relations whenever we allow atomic (scalar) values —
relations within relations
Retains mathematical foundation of relational model
Violates first normal form.
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.4
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Example of a Nested Relation
Example: library information system
Each book has
title,
a set of authors,
Publisher, and
a set of keywords
Non-1NF relation books
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.5
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
4NF Decomposition of Nested Relation
Remove awkwardness of flat-books by assuming that the following multivalued
dependencies hold:
title
author
title
keyword
title
pub-name, pub-branch
Decompose flat-doc into 4NF using the schemas:
(title, author )
(title, keyword )
(title, pub-name, pub-branch )
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.6

4NF Decomposition of flat–books
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.7
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Problems with 4NF Schema
4NF design requires users to include joins in their queries.
1NF relational view flat-books defined by join of 4NF relations:
eliminates the need for users to perform joins,
but loses the one-to-one correspondence between tuples and documents.
And has a large amount of redundancy
Nested relations representation is much more natural here.
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.8
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Complex Types and SQL:1999
Extensions to SQL to support complex types include:
Collection and large object types
Structured types
Nested record structures like composite attributes
Inheritance
Object orientation
Nested relations are an example of collection types
Including object identifiers and references
Our description is mainly based on the SQL:1999 standard
Not fully implemented in any database system currently
But some features are present in each of the major commercial
database systems
Read the manual of your database system to see what it supports
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.9
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Structured Types and Inheritance in SQL
Structured types can be declared and used in SQL
create type Name as
(firstname
varchar(20),
lastname
varchar(20))
final
create type Address as
(street
varchar(20),
city
varchar(20),
zipcode
varchar(20))
not final
Note: final and not final indicate whether subtypes can be created
Structured types can be used to create tables with composite attributes
create table customer (
name
Name,
address Address,
dateOfBirth date)
Dot notation used to reference components: name.firstname
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.10
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Structured Types (cont.)
User-defined row types
create type CustomerType as (
name Name,
address Address,
dateOfBirth date)
not final
Can then create a table whose rows are a user-defined type
create table customer of CustomerType
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.11
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Methods
Can add a method declaration with a structured type.
method ageOnDate (onDate date)
returns interval year
Method body is given separately.
create instance method ageOnDate (onDate date)
returns interval year
for CustomerType
begin
return onDate - self.dateOfBirth;
end
We can now find the age of each customer:
select name.lastname, ageOnDate (current_date)
from customer
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.12
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Inheritance
Suppose that we have the following type definition for people:
create type Person
(name varchar(20),
address varchar(20))
Using inheritance to define the student and teacher types
create type Student
under Person
(degree
varchar(20),
department varchar(20))
create type Teacher
under Person
(salary
integer,
department varchar(20))
Subtypes can redefine methods by using overriding method in
place of method in the method declaration
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.13
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Multiple Inheritance
SQL:1999 and SQL:2003 do not support multiple inheritance
If our type system supports multiple inheritance, we can define a
type for teaching assistant as follows:
create type Teaching Assistant
under Student, Teacher
To avoid a conflict between the two occurrences of department
we can rename them
create type Teaching Assistant
under
Student with (department as student_dept ),
Teacher with (department as teacher_dept )
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.14
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Consistency Requirements for Subtables
Consistency requirements on subtables and supertables.
Each tuple of the supertable (e.g. people) can correspond to at most one tuple
in each of the subtables (e.g. students and teachers)
Additional constraint in SQL:1999:
All tuples corresponding to each other (that is, with the same values for
inherited attributes) must be derived from one tuple (inserted into one table).
That is, each entity must have a most specific type
We cannot have a tuple in people corresponding to a tuple each in students
and teachers
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.15
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Array and Multiset Types in SQL
Example of array and multiset declaration:
create type Publisher as
(name
varchar(20),
branch
varchar(20))
create type Book as
(title
varchar(20),
author-array varchar(20) array [10],
pub-date
date,
publisher
Publisher,
keyword-set varchar(20) multiset )
create table books of Book
Similar to the nested relation books, but with array of authors
instead of set
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.16
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Creation of Collection Values
Array construction
array [‘Silberschatz’,`Korth’,`Sudarshan’]
Multisets
multisetset [‘computer’, ‘database’, ‘SQL’]
To create a tuple of the type defined by the books relation:
(‘Compilers’, array[`Smith’,`Jones’],
Publisher (`McGraw-Hill’,`New York’),
multiset [`parsing’,`analysis’ ])
To insert the preceding tuple into the relation books
insert into books
values
(‘Compilers’, array[`Smith’,`Jones’],
Publisher (`McGraw-Hill’,`New York’),
multiset [`parsing’,`analysis’ ])
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.17
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Querying Collection-Valued Attributes
To find all books that have the word “database” as a keyword,
select title
from books
where ‘database’ in (unnest(keyword-set ))
We can access individual elements of an array by using indices
E.g.: If we know that a particular book has three authors, we could write:
select author-array[1], author-array[2], author-array[3]
from books
where title = `Database System Concepts’
To get a relation containing pairs of the form “title, author-name” for each book and
each author of the book
select B.title, A.author
from books as B, unnest (B.author-array) as A (author )
To retain ordering information we add a with ordinality clause
select B.title, A.author, A.position
from books as B, unnest (B.author-array) with ordinality as
A (author, position )
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.18
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Unnesting
The transformation of a nested relation into a form with fewer (or no) relation-
valued attributes us called unnesting.
E.g.
select title, A as author, publisher.name as pub_name,
publisher.branch as pub_branch, K.keyword
from books as B, unnest(B.author_array ) as A (author ),
unnest (B.keyword_set ) as K (keyword )
Database System Concepts - 5th Edition, Aug 9, 2005.
9.19
©Silberschatz, Korth and Sudarshan
Nesting
Nesting is the opposite of unnesting, creating a collection-valued attribute
NOTE: SQL:1999 does not support nesting
Nesting can be done in a manner similar to aggregation, but using the function colect() in place of
an aggregation operation, to create a multiset
To nest the flat-books relation on the attribute keyword:
select title, author, Publisher (pub_name, pub_branch ) as publisher,
collect (keyword) as keyword_set
from flat-books
groupby title, author, publisher
To nest on both authors and keywords:
select title, collect (author ) as author_set,
Publisher (pub_name, pub_branch) as publisher,
collect (keyword ) as keyword_set

Nesting (Cont.)
Another approach to creating nested relations is to use subqueries in the select
clause.
select title,
array ( select author
from authors as A
where A.title = B.title
order by A.position) as author_array,
Publisher (pub-name, pub-branch) as publisher,
multiset (select keyword
from keywords as K
where K.title = B.title) as keyword_set
from books4 as B

Object-Identity and Reference Types
Define a type Department with a field name and a field head which is a reference
to the type Person, with table people as scope:
create type Department (
name varchar (20),
head ref (Person) scope people)
We can then create a table departments as follows
create table departments of Department
We can omit the declaration scope people from the type declaration and instead
make an addition to the create table statement:
create table departments of Department
(head with options scope people)

Initializing Reference-Typed Values
To create a tuple with a reference value, we can first create the tuple with a null
reference and then set the reference separately:
insert into departments
values (`CS’, null)
update departments
set head = (select p.person_id
from people as p
where name = `John’)
where name = `CS’

User Generated Identifiers
The type of the object-identifier must be specified as part of the type definition of the
referenced table, and
The table definition must specify that the reference is user generated
create type Person
(name varchar(20)
address varchar(20))
ref using varchar(20)
create table people of Person
ref is person_id user generated
When creating a tuple, we must provide a unique value for the identifier:
insert into people (person_id, name, address ) values
(‘01284567’, ‘John’, `23 Coyote Run’)
We can then use the identifier value when inserting a tuple into departments
Avoids need for a separate query to retrieve the identifier:
insert into departments
values(`CS’, `02184567’)

User Generated Identifiers (Cont.)
Can use an existing primary key value as the identifier:
create type Person
(name varchar (20) primary key,
address varchar(20))
ref from (name)
create table people of Person
ref is person_id derived
When inserting a tuple for departments, we can then use
insert into departments
values(`CS’,`John’)

Path Expressions
Find the names and addresses of the heads of all departments:
select head –>name, head –>address
from departments
An expression such as “head–>name” is called a path expression
Path expressions help avoid explicit joins
If department head were not a reference, a join of departments with people
would be required to get at the address
Makes expressing the query much easier for the user

Implementing O-R Features
Similar to how E-R features are mapped onto relation schemas
Subtable implementation
Each table stores primary key and those attributes defined in that table
or,
Each table stores both locally defined and inherited attributes

Persistent Programming Languages
Languages extended with constructs to handle persistent data
Programmer can manipulate persistent data directly
no need to fetch it into memory and store it back to disk (unlike embedded
SQL)
Persistent objects:
by class - explicit declaration of persistence
by creation - special syntax to create persistent objects
by marking - make objects persistent after creation
by reachability - object is persistent if it is declared explicitly to be so or is
reachable from a persistent object

Object Identity and Pointers
Degrees of permanence of object identity
Intraprocedure: only during execution of a single procedure
Intraprogram: only during execution of a single program or query
Interprogram: across program executions, but not if data-storage format on
disk changes
Persistent: interprogram, plus persistent across data reorganizations
Persistent versions of C++ and Java have been implemented
C++
ODMG C++
ObjectStore
Java
Java Database Objects (JDO)

Comparison of O-O and O-R Databases
Relational systems
Persistent-programming-language-based OODBs
complex data types, integration with programming language, high performance.
Object-relational systems
simple data types, powerful query languages, high protection.
complex data types, powerful query languages, high protection.
Note: Many real systems blur these boundaries
E.g. persistent programming language built as a wrapper on a relational
database offers first two benefits, but may have poor performance.
