Semantics and Expressiveness Issues in Active Databases

Summary: Formal framework for semantics and expressiveness of active-database trigger languages. Characterizes relative expressive power of abstract trigger languages and applies findings to ARDL, HiPAC, Postgres, Starburst, and Sybase, clarifying semantics and design trade-offs.
