  Abstract

Using object relationship table, this study proposes an efficient indexing technique for accessing both aggregation and inheritance hierarchies in object-oriented databases. This indexing technique uses the information on the aggregation and inheritance relationship between classes and the information on referencing instances as meta data. As a result, the technique makes it possibleto effectively evaluates various queries navigationg between tables. The study compares the proposed technique with the existing indexing tecniques and discusses its usefulness. It also provides the result of simulating its performance in terms of storage and retrieval cost.
