Abstract
A resumeable batch query object class provides a link between a first dialog for obtaining information regarding a query to be performed by an object oriented database management system, a second dialog for manipulating the results of the query, and the stream which includes the query results. The resumeable batch query attributes include identifiers of the second dialog and the stream, and a method to run the query. The resumable batch query is used by the object oriented database management system to allow a second dialog to manipulate results of a batch or background query in the same manner as results of a foreground or interactive query. Time consuming queries may thereby be processed in background mode in a manner which is transparent to the second dialog.
