Deciding Properties of Transactional Schemas
Summary: Systematic classification of decidability for properties of transactional schemas, showing most natural correctness/consistency properties are undecidable. Identify syntactic restrictions on transactions and property classes that restore decidability and reveal surprising boundaries. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
