Abstract
A translator for translating objects defined in Abstract Syntax Notation such as ASN.1 to a relational database schema permits persistent storage of object instances as records in a relational database. Object classes are mapped to entity tables with object instances represented by entity records. Simple attributes are mapped to primitive typed attribute columns and package or group attributes are mapped to separate dependent entity tables. Derived attributes are represented by joins of the parent and child entity records.
