Abstract
Methods, systems and computer-readable medium are provided for selecting and ordering pathways identified between two selected nodes of a hybrid network. Nodes within the network have named relationships that may have 1:1, 1:many, many:1 or many:many cardinality. An algorithm is applied to predetermine the optional search path for finding relationships between any two rows of any of one or more tables of one or more relational databases, including relationships defined between other tables. The schemas of one or more target relational databases, either derived or input, is converted into an object-oriented schema that explicitly defines relationships between columns in the tables of the relational database and represents the tables as object classes. The schemas are analyzed and optimal search paths are derived and stored for subsequent use. A query engine accesses the predefined search paths in order to execute queries.
