Updatable and Evolvable Transforms for Virtual Databases

Summary: Proposes channel transformations (CTs) to bridge virtual and physical schemas with guaranteed sync under data/schema updates. CTs compose atomic transforms (including pivoting) with updatability guarantees, translating queries, DML, and DDL; demonstrates two CTs and evaluates implementation for completeness and performance.
