method and device for loading stored procedures in a database according to object - oriented data dependencies

摘要

An improved object-database mapping tool is provided that stores a series of stored procedures associated with a database and an object-oriented application. The tool accesses stored procedures associated with classes corresponding to an object-oriented application. The tool determines a sequence of the stored procedures based on relationships between the classes. The tool loads the stored procedures based upon the sequence. In another aspect of the present invention, the tool uses several steps to sequence the stored procedures. The tool categorizes the stored procedures based on the classes they correspond to in the object-oriented application. The tool loads the stored procedures corresponding to classes having relationships to other classes. The tool loads the stored procedures corresponding to classes categorized as superclasses. The tool also loads the stored procedures corresponding to classes categorized as subclasses.
