Implementing Set-Oriented Production Rules as an Extension to Starburst

Summary: Implements a set-oriented production-rule language for databases, extending earlier proposals and enabling scalable, rule-driven reasoning. Starburst extensibility is used to embed rule execution directly into standard query and transaction processing, achieving tight DBMS integration. (summarized by gpt-5-nano on Feb 09 2026)
