Abstract :
In a heterogeneous database environment, accessing data across different types of data models requires an integration of conceptual schemas. This conceptual schema can exist in various forms such as relational, object-oriented, hierarchical, or network. This paper provides a mechanism, a mapping function - for the transformation of an object- oriented schema to a relational schema and a query translation to access an object-oriented database for the relational database user
