ABSTRACT:
The present invention is an object-oriented apparatus stored in the memory of a computer system for executing a method for synchronizing schemas between a database and an object-oriented repository. The method includes the steps of initializing a variable, object X, which is of type, Type, with the object on which this method was called and obtaining values for each attribute of the object X from the database. Next, for each attribute of the object X, a comparison is made of the value obtained in the preceding step with value of attribute stored in the repository. A determination is next made as to whether or not any differences were found in the preceding step. If no differences were found, then a determination is made as to whether or not there are more attributes in the object X, and if so, repeat all steps except the first one.
