The Iris Database System
Summary: Iris is an object-and-function DBMS with objects, types, and functions; behavior and access are defined through functions. A conversion from a 200-relations, 2500-attribute relational app reduced schema by over one-third via type inheritance and object references, using Iris OSQL and a graphical editor.
