Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) We propose a database manipulation interface for the statically typed, purely functional programming language, Haskell. Our data model uses surrogates to permit direct update of stored objects, and the basic interface is designed based on the state transformer approach [8], so that the interface is referentially transparent. The state transformer approach requires all the operations to be executed in a single state transition sequence, and thus tends to make queries more imperative than expected. In our approach, to lessen this burden of query construction, versioning is utilized. Versions can be "frozen" or locked, and a set of locked versions can be supplied as an argument to query operations. This intra-program versioning permits on-the-fly dereference while query construction, and allows for straightforward implementation of lazy retrieval in a state thread.
