Deriving Production Rules for Constraint Maintenance

Summary: Introduces production-rule-based maintenance of integrity constraints via an SQL-like language and a translation framework from constraints to rule-driven repairs. Guarantees end-of-transaction consistency under set-oriented rules, with automatic and user-guided translation, demonstrated on a sizable example. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
