Abstract
The Shared Memory-Resident Cache (SMRC) facility under development at IBM Almaden enables persistent C++ data structures to reside in a relational database by utilizing its binary large object (BLOB) facilities. Through SMRC, persistent C++ data then can be accessed both programmatically and through relational queries. Testing and refinement of the SMRC persistence facility has been driven by the early adoption of a challenging application, “graphical explain,” which provides support for the storage and visualization of optimized relational query plans. The purpose of this paper is to report on our early experiences with this application, as it has been enlightening with respect to the sorts of C++ data structures and programming practices that must be dealt with in order to make “reap’ C++ data persistent.
On assignment from the University of Erlangen-Nuernberg, Germany.
