Abstract :
An approach to database schema management is presented that allows easy tailoring of schema management, high-level specification of schema consistency, and development of advanced tools supporting the user during schema evolution. The application of this approach to the development of a simple schema manager for the core of the GOM database programming language is described. The flexibility afforded both developers and users by the approach is also discussed
