Transactions And Integrity Constraints
Summary: Defines transactional schemas—sets of admissible transactions—to specify valid DB states and proves they are incomparable with traditional integrity-constraint schemas while many FDs and some inclusion dependencies admit transactional encodings. Shows transactions can simulate ER/IFO models, express dynamic constraints beyond static ICs, and analyzes decidability/undecidability trade-offs. (summarized by gpt-5-mini on Feb 09 2026)
