Objects and Views

Summary: Presents a sophisticated view mechanism for object-oriented DBs to restructure class hierarchies and modify object behavior. Supports implicit attributes and virtual classes populated from existing or new objects, highlighting identity issues during updates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
