Abstract

Database programming languages have been the subject of intensive investigation in recent years [AB87]. The problems of efficient implementation of these languages still attract much attention. An approach based on unification is suggested in this paper. It was used to implement the database programming language Atlant [Zam89]. This approach allows a simple schema of compilation and increased efficiency of data transfer between the compiler and database.
