Abstract

Information systems now run on a wide range of target platforms ranging from enterprise servers to mobile devices. The functionality required by the applications running on these platforms varies greatly and for this reason adaptive databases have been proposed that can tailor a data management system to the needs of a particular application and platform.We present an approach to model-driven development for object databases that incorporates ideas from adaptive databases to generate code for either the native object database or one of several possible semantic layers built on top of the database depending on the features of the application model. We describe how the approach has been implemented as a tool supporting the development of applications for the object database db4o.
