Understanding the implications of view update policies

Summary: General algorithm to predict effects of arbitrary view update mappings; decides if a requested update propagates to base relations. Describes all possible side effects on the view, states the conditions for their occurrence, and unifies and extends prior view-update tools to a broader class of views.
