The Starburst active database rule system

The Starburst Active Database Rule System

This paper describes our development of the Starburst Rule System, an active database rules facility integrated into the Starburst extensible relational database system at the IBM Almaden Research Center. The Starburst rule language is based on arbitrary database state transitions rather than tupleor statement-level changes, yielding a clear and exible execution semantics. The rule system has b...

RBE: A Rule-by-Example Active Database System

In an active database system rules are used to monitor and respond to events that happen inside the database This paper presents the implementation of an active database system called RBE The system loosely couples OPS production system and INGRES database management system to e cientlymonitor databases on complex conditions In this system a table based Rule By Example language which is also no...

The Starburst Rule System: Language Design, Implementation, and Applications

This short paper provides an overview of the Starburst Rule System, a production rules facility integrated into the Starburst extensible database system. The rule language is based on arbitrary database state transitions rather than tupleor statement-level changes, yielding a clear and exible execution semantics. The rule system was implemented rapidly using the extensibility features of Starbu...

A Signature Access Method for the Starburst Database System

This paper describes a new signature generation method for constructing multi-level signature files to support both relational queries which contain multiple conjunctive (AND) predicates and generic document text queries. We describe the major problems with traditional multi-level signature files and then describe how to build multi-level signature files using a new composite method of parent s...
