Design of distributed object-oriented databases inherits the design problems from the relational distributed databases and presents additional difficulties related to schema represented by classes and their possible complicated hierarchical structure. Unlike the relational case, access to data by user-defined methods further complicates the problem. This paper addresses fragmentation issues related to design of distributed object-oriented databases. Specifically, this paper investigates vertical fragmentation of objects as a generalization of previous work on relational databases.
