An Integrated Database Programming and Querying Language with Support for Simultaneous Processing

The integration of query languages and programming languages is still a central problem of database research. In particular, issues with respect to the impedance mismatch are of interest. In this paper, we introduce features of a newly developed integrated database programming and querying language (i)DBPQL, which unites properties from object-oriented programming languages, query languages and database programming languages. Our main focus is on those integrated language properties that support simultaneous processing and their implications on other database system components.
