Set-Oriented Production Rules in Relational Database Systems

Summary: Introduces a production-rules facility in relational DBs, enabling set-oriented rules triggered by changes and updates. Extends SQL with a rule-definition syntax and an exact semantics model for external ops, self-triggering rules, and concurrent firing. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
