Abstract

A key issue when incorporating rules into database systems concerns understanding alternative semantics of rule application. The database programming language Heraclitus[Alg,C] is an extension of C that supports the relational algebra and novel constructs related to the specification of these semantics. In particular, the language supports deltas as "first-class citizens"- these are values corresponding to database updates, which may or may not be applied. Deltas are useful in representing the effect of rule firings, and for representing virtual database states, as they arise in the specification of several active database systems. Unlike previous work on differential files and hypothetical relations, Heraclitus supports operators for combining deltas, and also alternative implementations that incorporate the impact of deltas into conventional database operators (e.g., join). The framework also appears useful in connection with hypothetical database access, version control, specifying concurrency protocols, and the resolution of update conflicts. This paper describes the design and preliminary implementation of Heraclitus[Alg,C]. Two strategies for providing access to deltas have been implemented, one hash-based and the other sort-based. Initial evaluation of system performance demonstrates the feasibility of the language.
