Abstract
A service registry and repository method for managing an object database for objects. The method includes receiving a database path query expression including both a main expression and a treat-as expression. The method also includes translating the query expression into an object query and querying the object database using the object query. In particular, the translating includes breaking the expression into nodes, examining each node to identify objects for selection and from which selection is made, consolidating objects for selection from each node in the sub-expression into a sub-SELECT clause, consolidating objects for selection in each node of the main expression into a SELECT clause, consolidating objects from which selection is made from nodes in the sub-query into a sub-FROM clause, consolidating objects from which selection is made from nodes in the main query into a FORM clause, and forming the object query from the SELECT, FROM and WHERE clauses.
