Language Constructs for Programming Active Databases
Summary: Presents language constructs for active databases around a first-class delta (delayed update) to propose, inspect, and compose modifications without commit. Shows delta-based rule semantics (AP5, Starburst) and notes core-construct simulatability in Heraclitus. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
