Algorithm for the storage of questionnaire data in OODBMS

Abstract

This is an exploratory approach of designing the generalized algorithm for only storing the responses where the researcher had used db4o and .NET framework for some illustrative construction of a s imple prototype. The purpose of this paper is to propose a method of storage for transforming response of a structured questionnaire from MS-Excel to OODBMS model. To propose a generalized algorithm that will illustrate the said purpose of storing respon ses in OODBMS model. To explore the transforming of response storage from MS -Excel to object oriented data model, a questionnaire designed by a business management researcher is used for illustration. By using given steps of algorithm the simple excel response sheet can be transformed into OODBMS model. It has been found that the proposed algorithm can be used for storing responses of questionnaire into the OODBMS database.
