Abstract
Two common methods of determining type equivalence in programming languages and database systems are by name and by structure. In this paper we will show that both mechanisms are myopic views of the type equivalence required for persistent systems. Methods of representing schema types within a persistent store will be discussed, and two possible implementations will be given. Finally discussion and measurements of the efficiency trade-offs for both representations will be presented.
