Description: Goblin is a database programming language for application development and ad-hoc querying an object-oriented database. Its salient features include: a strong and extensible type system, automatic object classification, a core of imperative programming language concepts, declarative database querying, a trigger mechanism, and transaction management. The language design is strongly influenced by several envisioned application domains, such as office automation, robotic applications, cartographic applications, and astronomy. These application domains are surveyed and their requirements on a database programming language identified.
