On Rules, Procedures, Caching And Views In Data Base Systems

Summary: Proposes a compact rule system that unifies views, procedures, and procedural data types, with rule-based semantics for ambiguous view updates and POSTGRES-like data. Caches rule actions to materialize views and speed procedural items, arguing that a rule-centric approach subsumes core DBMS functions. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
