In this paper, we present a query translation algorithm which allows object-oriented queries to be automatically translated into a relational query language. Our goal is to provide an improved query interface for existing relational database systems.

The need for a portable query language for FDBMSs is discussed, and a basic language syntax and its associated datamodel are proposed. Additionally, the paper proposes a framework for implementing XFS...
