ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for coupling object state and behavior in a DBMS is provided such that an object's class definition, behavior information, and state information are included in the DBMS. An object is instantiated using an object class definition, state information, and behavior information from the DBMS. In addition, an object can be stored in the DBMS by storing its class definition along with its state and behavior information in the DBMS. The behavior information stored in the DBMS can be used within and without the DBMS environment.
