ABSTRACT:
The invention is a method for making joins and retrieving joined data during query processing in a database. An object sends a message with join criteria to one or more other objects or classes of objects. Objects receiving the message forward the data which they have or data which may potentially be useful to a receiving object, then stop processing, without waiting for a reply. Messages for a particular object are processed in a queue without reference to messages for other objects.
