Abstract
A method and system are described that may generate and process address strings, for example, for database entities such as objects. An example method may include generating a first address string representing a first relational path associated with a first database query retrieval of a first object, and storing the first address string in association with the first object. Another example method may include receiving a query requesting information associated with an entity related to one or more objects included in a database. The method may further include retrieving a first address string based on a search of address strings to determine address strings that indicate the entity, the first address string representing a first relational path associated with a database query retrieval of a first object, and retrieving the first object based on the retrieved first address string.
