Abstract

This paper presents a mechanism to enforce consistency in object oriented DBMS using pre-conditions and post-conditions on methods. This mechanism is coupled with an exception mechanism to allow deferred controls and semantic tolerance. Conditions are defined using SQL-like expressions and methods composition. A prototype which has been implemented on the O2 object oriented database management system (DBMS) is also described in this paper.
