| Abstract | Traditional databases are viewed as passive repositories of data. We store, retrieve, and alter data in a database, but do not expect a database to respond to actions performed to it. This passive paradigm is now rapidly changing as databases incorporate rules which permit them to detect and respond to important events. The resulting active databases have expanded capacities. Among other things, they can enforce constraints, maintain derived data, propagate the effect of updates and implement change management protocols. In this thesis, we consider the effect of incorporating active database rules on the enforcement of integrity constraints, maintenance of derived data and dynamically changing schemas. To perform this, we develop a rule system for creation and management of active rules for these functionalities, for databases based on FoxPro relational database management system. |
