Abstract
Traditionally, the design and implementation o-f a
conventional database system begins with the choice o-f a
data model followed by the specification of a model -based
data language. Thus, the database system is restricted to a
single data model and a specific data language. An
alternative to this traditional approach to database—system
development is the multi-lingual database system (MLDS)
.
This alternative approach enables the user to access and
manage a large collection of databases via several data
models and their corresponding data languages without the
aforementioned restriction.
In this thesis we present the specification and
implementation of a relational /SQL language interface for
the MLDS. Specifically, we present the specification and
implementation of an interface which translates SQL language
calls into attribute-based data language (ABDL) requests.
We describe the software engineering aspects of our
implementation and an overview of the four modules which
comprise our relational /SQL language interface.
