Structures for Manipulating Proposed Updates In Object-Oriented Databases

Summary: Introduces a delta framework for complex values in object-oriented databases, treating deltas as first-class citizens. Supports granular deltas across nested structures (tuple, set, bag, list, dict), enabling hypothetical access and merging of proposed updates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
