A new framework for dynamically evolving database environments
Abstract
This paper describes research work carried out with the aim to investigate dynamically evolving database environments and corresponding schemata, allowing storage and manipulation of variable length data, a variable number of fields per record, variable length records, manipulation of authority records and links between records and fields, and dynamically defined objects (relations in the traditional sense). The paper proposes a new framework for the definition of a unified schema that eliminates completely the need for reorganisation at both logical and internal levels. Retrieval of data is optimised through self‐contained storage chunks that also vary dynamically.
