With the increasing popularity of object-oriented technology, object-oriented database systems are being used in design environments as central repositories. In this thesis, we investigate the role of versioning and the characteristics of design databases in design environments. In an effort to improve the configuration management scheme in a design environment, we also investigate the use of database views as a possible configuration tool.
'We propose a unified version management scheme that facilitates cooperative team work and show that the use of database views provides a powerful configuration management scheme for a design environment.
