Constraint Equations: Declarative Expression of Constraints With Automatic Enforcement
Summary: Introduces Constraint Equations, a declarative, application-oriented language for semantic constraints spanning multiple relations, extending beyond schema-level semantics. Constraints compile into automatic enforcement routines, while algebraic manipulation supports quantifier-like expressions and derives logical consequences.
