UML object models can be mapped to relational databases by mapping classes to tables, attributes to columns, and associations as either buried foreign keys or separate tables. There are two approaches to mapping inheritance: using separate tables for each class or duplicating superclass columns in subclass tables. The tradeoff is between easier modification of the superclass versus faster queries.

- 2. Bernd Bruegge & Allen H. Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 2 Mapping an Object Model to a Database • UML object models can be mapped to relational databases: • Some degradation occurs because all UML constructs must be mapped to a single relational database construct - the table • Mapping of classes, attributes and associations • Each class is mapped to a table • Each class attribute is mapped onto a column in the table • An instance of a class represents a row in the table • A many-to-many association is mapped into its own table • A one-to-many association is implemented as buried foreign key • Methods are not mapped.

- 4. Bernd Bruegge & Allen H. Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 4 Primary and Foreign Keys • Any set of attributes that could be used to uniquely identify any data record in a relational table is called a candidate key • The actual candidate key that is used in the application to identify the records is called the primary key • The primary key of a table is a set of attributes whose values uniquely identify the data records in the table • A foreign key is an attribute (or a set of attributes) that references the primary key of another table.

Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 5 Example for Primary and Foreign Keys User table Candidate key login email “am384” “am384@mail.org” “js289” “john@mail.de” firstName “alice” “john” “bd” “bobd@mail.ch”“bob” Candidate key Primary key League table login “am384” “bd” name “tictactoeNovice” “tictactoeExpert” “js289”“chessNovice” Foreign key referencing User table

Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 6 Buried Association LeagueLeagueOwner *1 id:long LeagueOwner table ... owner:long League table ...id:long • Associations with multiplicity “one” can be implemented using a foreign key For one-to-many associations we add the foreign key to the table representing the class on the “many” end For all other associations we can select either class at the end of the association. owner

- 10. Bernd Bruegge & Allen H. Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 10 Realizing Inheritance • Relational databases do not support inheritance • Two possibilities to map an inheritance association to a database schema • With a separate table (”vertical mapping”) • The attributes of the superclass and the subclasses are mapped to different tables • By duplicating columns (”horizontal mapping”) • There is no table for the superclass • Each subclass is mapped to a table containing the attributes of the subclass and the attributes of the superclass
- 11. Bernd Bruegge & Allen H. Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 11 Realizing inheritance with a separate table (Vertical mapping) User table id 56 name ... zoe 79 john role LeagueOwner Player Player User LeagueOwner maxNumLeagues credits name Player table id 79 credits ... 126 id LeagueOwner table 56 maxNumLeagues ... 12

- 13. Bernd Bruegge & Allen H. Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 13 Comparison: Separate Tables vs Duplicated Columns • The trade-off is between modifiability and response time • How likely is a change of the superclass? • What are the performance requirements for queries? • Separate table mapping (Vertical mapping) We can add attributes to the superclass easily by adding a column to the superclass table Searching for the attributes of an object requires a join operation. • Duplicated columns (Horizontal Mapping) Modifying the database schema is more complex and error-prone Individual objects are not fragmented across a number of tables, resulting in faster queries
- 14. Bernd Bruegge & Allen H. Dutoit Object-Oriented Software Engineering: Using UML, Patterns, and Java 14 Summary • Four mapping concepts: • Model transformation improves the compliance of the object design model with a design goal • Forward engineering improves the consistency of the code with respect to the object design model • Refactoring improves code readability/modifiability • Reverse engineering discovers the design from the code. • Model transformations and forward engineering techniques: • Optimizing the class model • Mapping associations to collections • Mapping contracts to exceptions • Mapping class model to storage schemas.
