Abstract

In this paper we consider in detail the type system of the object-oriented database query language, OQL, as defined by the ODMG. Our main technical contribution is a formal definition of the typing relation for OQL—surprisingly we could not find a complete definition in the literature. We have also uncovered a number of inaccuracies in the ODMG proposal, and other work.
