Abstract
When an update to a view is requested by a user, there may be no unique
way of updating the stored relations in the database to realize the
requested update. Chosing one of the alternatives for updating stored
relations may not reflect the change that has actually taken place in
the real world; in the presence of other derived views, the database
may actually present a very wrong model of the world to the user. The
problem is even more severe in the case of deductive databases. For
avoiding this problem, we introduce a new notion of view updates,
called cumulative updates. The key idea behind cumulative updates
is that update mechanisms should wait for further update requests to
resolve ambiguities. Equivalently, current update requests must also
take into account previous requests made to the knowledge base.
Cumulative updates, therefore, subsume conventional updates in which
only the current update request is considered. In this paper, we
motivate the need for cumulative updates and formally define the notion
of such updates as well as the different classes therein. We then give
methods for computing one particular class of cumulative updates.
