Description
Summary:The classes and their relationships in hybrid, post-relational (object-relational) database management system InterSystems Caché (InterSystems IRIS platform) are analyzed. A better notation to visualize that class entities and relationships is proposed. The different approaches to visualize the Caché classes and identify limitations of existing visualization tools are compared. Due to the fact that there are many features in InterSystems Caché classes and relationships, a new notation development is required to model the existing systems with all of their features displayed. Authors propose to extend UML notation and compare it with existing UML solutions, which are not fully capable of visualizing all features under Caché DBMS. This article also provides An information over a developed standard extension and a web-based software which implements this standard is also provided. The features developed web-based solution for visualizing classes and their relationships, comparing it to existing visualization tools are described.
