   Retrieve the name, location and room rate for hotels with a room rate equals to $200

   [Name Location Price] of (AND hotel (FILLS Price 200))

2. DL query ==> Mappings
   • DL query ==> Multi-repository mappings
   • Multi-repository mappings ==> several mono-repository mappings

     

     Notice that the main plan considers applying the corresponding transformer functions to data coming from data repositories.

   • Execution of LQL queries
     • Access data using wrappers
     • Applying transformer functions
   • Obtaining final answer using an auxiliar database
