Abstract
OLOG is a novel deductive database system for advanced intelligent information system applications. It directly supports effective storage, efficient access and inference of large amount of persistent data with complex structures. It provides a SQL-like data definition language and data manipulation language, and a declarative rule-based query language. It combines the best of the deductive, object-oriented, and object-relational approaches in a uniform framework. This paper describes the design and implementation of the OLOG system.
