摘　　要：In object-oriented database systems(OODBSs),the traditional transaction models are no longer suit- able because of the difference between the object-oriented data model(OODM)and the conventional da- ta models(e.g.relational data model).In this paper,transaction models for advanced databuse applica- tions are reviewed and their shortcomings are analyzed.Exchangeability of operations is proposed in- stead of commuativity and recoverability for using more semantics in transaction management.As a result,an object-oriented transaction model(in short,OOTM)is presented.It is not modeled for some special application,but directly based on object-oriented paradigms.A transaction is regarded as an interpretation of a method.Each transaction(even subtransactions)keeps relative ACID(Atomicity, Consistency,Isolation,Durability )properties,therefore the special problems appearing in OODBSs such as“long transactions”,“visibility of inconsistent database state”can be solved.In object-oriented database systems(OODBSs),the traditional transaction models are no longer suit- able because of the difference between the object-oriented data model(OODM)and the conventional da- ta models(e.g.relational data model).In this paper,transaction models for advanced databuse applica- tions are reviewed and their shortcomings are analyzed.Exchangeability of operations is proposed in- stead of commuativity and recoverability for using more semantics in transaction management.As a result,an object-oriented transaction model(in short,OOTM)is presented.It is not modeled for some special application,but directly based on object-oriented paradigms.A transaction is regarded as an interpretation of a method.Each transaction(even subtransactions)keeps relative ACID(Atomicity, Consistency,Isolation,Durability )properties,therefore the special problems appearing in OODBSs such as“long transactions”,“visibility of inconsistent database state”can be solved.
