Rule Condition Testing and Action Execution in Ariel

Summary: Ariel tightly couples a built-in rule system to the relational query/update engine of an active DBMS. Rule testing uses a discrimination network and A-TREAT with memory nodes for efficient checks; actions bind data and execute via the query processor. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
