Ode as an Active Database: Constraints and Triggers

Summary: Ode is an object-oriented active DB that attaches constraints and triggers to class definitions, easing readability and inheritance-aware implementation. It clarifies the differences between constraints and triggers and covers intra- vs inter-object scope, coupling, and invocation order. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
