A Model for Active Object Oriented Database

Summary: Proposes an active object-oriented database model that treats triggers as encapsulated methods, leveraging standard OODB encapsulation and inheritance. Nested transactions define trigger execution, yielding a flexible framework that generalizes prior active-database proposals. (summarized by gpt-5.6-luna on Jul 24 2026)
