Ode as an Active Database: Constraints and Triggers

Summary: Ode integrates constraints and triggers into object-oriented class definitions, aligning them with inheritance for readable implementation. It distinguishes their semantics and addresses intra-/inter-object scope, coupling, execution order, and invocation environments. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
