A Nested Report Composition Scheme for Object-Oriented Database Systems
Summary :
The problem of presentation view generation over external/conceptual view is discussed for database systems. The presentation view is expressed by a format of a report which is generated as the result of a database query. A new presentation format generation scheme for composite reports is proposed for object-oriented databae systems. The reports can have nested (extended non-first-normal-form) formats. The presentation format should vary at run time, depending on repeating groups and data arrangement. The proposed scheme is based on the idea of dynamic co-referring objects, which uses an object-oriented data model extended to the presentation layer. As important features, various composite reports can be easily derived from databases, and dynamic format modification is possible interactively, even after retrieving the data. The scheme is useful for database applications which require a wide variety of formats for casual queries, where the report generation programming cost will be greatly reduced.
