Abstract: Many software store information relies on database,while the database schema change will lead to some source code SQL statements associated with the database cannot be performed properly.Thus finding a way to locate the SQL statement code which needs modifying and to recommend possible changes to these programs is necessary.We proposed a code evolution recommendation method for database schema changes.Firstly,the method detects software system database schema change,and uses the program slicing technique to get source code fragments related to the ope-ration of the database.Then it determines the program slicing impacted by the database schema change,and uses algorithm for generating flowchart from source program to get program flowcharts.SQL statements may have some distinct execution paths according to program flow branches condition.Finally,it uses figure mapping method for each SQL statement to recommend executable SQL statements under the new database schema.In order to verify the feasibility of the method,the article implemented a plug-in tool used to detect the database schema changes,and to recommend executable SQL statement under new database schema.
