Communications of the ACMA relational model of data for large shared data banks
5,238 Citations1970E. F. Codd
A model based on n-ary relations, a normal form for data base relations, and the concept of a universal data sublanguage are introduced and certain operations on relations are discussed and applied to the problems of redundancy and consistency in the user's model.

ACM Computing SurveysTypes and persistence in database programming languages
346 Citations1987Malcolm P. Atkinson, O. Buneman
There are areas of programming language research—modules, polymorphism, persistence, and inheritance—that must be developed and applied to achieve the goal of a useful and consistent database programming language.
Development of an object-oriented DBMS
320 Citations1986David Maier, Jacob Stein +2 more
This paper describes the results of developing the GemStone object-oriented database server, which supports a model of objects similar to that of Smalltalk-80, and discusses satisfying the remaining requirements in an object oriented context.
The design of POSTGRES
310 Citations1986Michael Stonebraker, Lawrence A. Rowe
The main design goals of the new system are toprovide better support for complex objects, provide user extendibility for data types, operators and access methods, provide facilities for active databases and inferencing including forward- and backward-chaining.
Relations as semantic constructs in an object-oriented language
256 Citations1987James Rumbaugh
The object-relation model, which combines the object-oriented model with the entity-relationship model from data base theory, is particularly useful for designing and partitioning systems of interrelated objects.
Combining language and database advances in an object-oriented development environment
254 Citations1987Timothy Andrews, Craig Harris
VBASE, an object-oriented development environment that combines a procedural object language and persistent objects into one integrated system, is presented and how it combines language and database functionality is described.
On extending the functions of a relational database system
251 Citations1982Roger Haskin, Raymond A. Lorie
Additions to System R, a prototypical relational system, are introduced to satisfy demands: long fields, for storing non-coded data, and complex objects, which declare the semantic relationships among data items and provide a means for adequately supporting interactive access.
Object identity
209 Citations1986Setrag Khoshafian, George P. Copeland
A data model is defined that can directly describe complex objects, and it is shown that identity can easily be incorporated in it and that a surrogate-based implementation scheme is needed to support the strong notion of identity.

89 Citations1988James Rumbaugh
The use of propagation attributes on the relationships between objects permits a concise, intuitive specification of the manner in which operations should propagate from one object to another.
