An Architecture for Monitoring and Recommending Active Databases DDLs

The integrated monitoring within heterogeneous database environments can become complex, due to the particularities in the language syntax and available tools. In particular, active databases allow developing mechanisms and automation of processes involving data or objects. This work proposes the development of an architecture to identify and monitor DDL, exploring the active databases and recommendations approach. This architecture could be explored in several ways: simple monitoring of DDL events in one or more databases, or recommendation of future DDLs or settings within the monitored database. In this context, this paper proposes: (i) an integrated architecture of active databases and recommendation; (ii) the adaptation of a recommendation algorithm, and (iii) the validation of concepts through a prototype.
