Abstract:

OdeFS is a file-like interface to the Ode object-oriented database. Database objects are accessed and manipulated like files in a traditional file system using standard UNIX commands. For example, the ls command can be used to list the objects in a directory and the cat command can be used to display the contents of an object. Editors such as vi and emacs can be used to update objects. OdeFS is implemented as a network file server, using the NFS protocol. OdeFS commands are translated into calls to the underlying UNIX file systems (to manipulate files or directories) or the Ode object manager (to manipulate persistent objects). OdeFS requires no storage of its own. In consequence, OdeFS is object-compatible with the other Ode interfaces: O++ (C++ interface), CQL++ (SQL interface), and OdeView (graphical interface). Objects created with one interface can be manipulated with the other interfaces. In this paper, we describe OdeFS, its user interface, and its implementation.
