Constructing Database Systems in a Persistent Environment

Summary: Explores building DBMSs atop PS-algol’s orthogonal persistence, showing how a few language features rapidly support multiple interfaces and data models. Introduces runtime compilation to tailor storage structures, framing static/dynamic binding as a design methodology. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
