Formal Limits on the Automatic Generation and Maintenance of Integrity Constraints
Summary: Characterizes which integrity constraints can be automatically inferred from a partial database instance via formal systems that exactly specify the generable constraints. Provides a revision procedure to restore consistency on conflicts and shows the generable class (mod minor limits) matches relational-algebra sentences. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
