In the optimization of queries in an object-oriented database system (OODB), a natural rst step is to use the typing constraints imposed by the schema to transform a query into an equivalent one that logically accesses a minimal set of objects. We study a class of queries for OODB's called conjunctive queries. Variables in a conjunctive query range over heterogeneous sets of objects. Consequent...
