We revisit the issues of non-monotonic inheritance and structure traversal in object-relational databases with new insights to propose OO extensions of SQL and demonstrate that they are sufficient and powerful enough for modeling classes, non-monotonic inheritance and de-referencing. In particular, we show that simple tweaking of SQL with tuple ID helps capture these OO features cleanly and empowers application developers with a powerful knowledge modeling tool.Read the full paper here: https://link.springer.com/chapter/10.1007/978-3-030-33223-5_6
