Declarative Expression of Deductive Database Updates
Summary: Extends Datalog to declaratively express single-state transitions and procedural sequences of updates, supporting basic update ops, hypothetical reasoning, and update procedures. Defines possible-world semantics and a sound, complete proof theory via translation to equivalent Pure Prolog. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
