In this paper, we propose an approach for implementing object-relational DBMSs by using a heterogeneous database system architecture. The paper first discusses the type extensibility of an object-relational DBMS and its query language. Then the architecture is presented for realizing object-relational technology on the top of relational and object-oriented DBMSs. In particular, two main functions- schema transformation and query translation are further studied.
