SENTINEL: An Object-Oriented DBMS With Event-Based Rules

Summary: SENTINEL is an object-oriented DBMS that embeds active, event-driven capabilities via ECA rules (event–condition–action). A uniform framework supports integrity enforcement, view materialization, index management, and adaptive plans under changing access methods. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
