Graphic Logical Desing for ORDB

Abstract

This paper presents a model to graphic logical design to Object Relational Database (ORDB). The model proposed allowed mapping from UML class diagram (conceptual model) to elements of an ORDB. It is possible to create a graphic logical model to ORDB. Since version's 1999 ORDBs had presented new elements that can be used for represent object's application in databases. However is necessary to have a model to represent a conceptual model in the object-relational logic model. The model here proposed is based on the other previews works and the differences are discussed. This article introduces an extension made in ArgoUML tool that permits developer to build graphic logical schemas to ORDBs. The professionals can use this tool in your projects. We intend that ORDB can effectively be used in corporates.
