摘要: In this paper we take a first step towards characterizing active databases. Declarative characterization of databases allows additional flexibility in studying the effects different priority criteria between fireable rules, actions and event definitions, also to make claims about transaction prove them without actually executing them. Our is related but from similar attempts by Zaniolo terms making clear distinction actual hypothetical execution allowing non-determinism. We use ‘choice’ construct [SZ90] characterize non-determinism that arises when several rules can fire at same time preference not specified. show through examples how our language us express features database systems.
