Implementing Queries and Updates on Universal Scheme Interfaces

Summary: Partition semantics define a canonical scheme for a relational universe U and FDs; queries map to expressions on this scheme. Updates to the universal relation map to transactions on the canonical scheme, giving independence of queries and updates. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
