Decidability and Undecidability Results for the Termination Problem of Active Database Rules
Summary: Delimits decidability boundary for termination of active DB rules by analyzing two restricted families: one-literal (single-atom updates) and unary (only unary updates, higher-arity via views). Identifies tight (un)decidable members and contrasts trigger dynamics with while queries and Datalog negation. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
