Abstract
A method and system for generating computer programs for queries by manipulating an object-oriented diagram. In the present invention, a query is specified for the object diagram. A series of transformations are performed on the object classes within the object diagram in accordance with the query. A revised object diagram representative of the query is then produced. Computer code is then automatically generated for the query from the revised object diagram. The code is used to prototype programs that query and/or update data stored in a database.
