Updating a Relational Database through a Universal Schema Interface
Summary: Proposes a universal-schema interface that supports both retrieval and updates over a relational DB without user-specified access paths, providing a homogeneous logical view. Presents methods to insert/delete tuples defined on schema fragments while guaranteeing a representative instance for computing attribute connections. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
