Implementing Chimera on Top of an Active Relational Database System
Chimera is the name of a new data model as well as the name of the
corresponding database sublanguage. The model is an object-oriented one
based on a rather standard view of the key notions such as object, value, class,
type, inheritance, and overriding. Chimera does not only support operations
and integrity constraints, but in addition provides deductive and active
rules as modeling features for advanced applications. This document
provides the technical documentation for the Chimera Prototyping Tool
(CPT), an experimental implementation of the Chimera data model and
language. It describes the way CPT implements the object-oriented
Chimera data model and language on top of the active, deductive, and
relational database system Phoenix.
